An Addendum from the Creator of TOWELBOY

TowelBoy is not very smart. For days, I have been shattered by the rumor that I'm somehow compiling customers' personal information and tracking their automobiles. I haven't slept or eaten, worried that my valued members think that I'm some sort of crazy turncoat. I even posted "A Message About Privacy", which I sincerely hope you'll read.

I've been perusing the blog and enjoying your comments. I occasionally like to go through the entries and read my own work. I can see mistakes much more clearly after time, and I hope this clarity improves my writing in the future. I was stunned after reading over recent entries to discover the source of the address/automobile rumor that's circulating on Craig's List: ME!! In a December posting, I was rambling about Hot Tranny Messes. In one of my stories I mentioned that I noticed that a customer lived in an affluent neighborhood and that he put an expensive automobile key in the security box. In hindsight, that was incredibly stupid. Let me assure you that I was trying to support my story, and I didn't even consider that I may be mentioning information that some would find alarming. I, as it turns out, am the Hot Tranny Mess.

Let me say for the record that I have no interest in anyone's personal information. I was trying to use those points (stupidly) to support my story. Sitting here now, I have no recollection what the "affluent" neighborhood was. I can often attribute a key to its manufacturer. The reason is really simple: I'm a bit of an idiot-savant when it comes to car logos. I recognize the logo on the key. That's how I knew he drove an Audi. I have no idea what model, what color, etc. I could never actually use the logo information from the key to find someone's car. I now see why everyone was so alarmed, and I apologize for my indiscretion.

Confidentiality makes generating web content extremely difficult. I frequently take stories from my own life and my own unique generalizations and try to spin a clever tale. It's a (sometimes ineffective) attempt at humor. Since I really can't say anything sexy or scandalous without betraying confidentiality, I try to get people to come to the website with humor. I don't think of me as "TowelBoy". In my mind, he's this invented character with his own personality, experiences, and opinions. Although I often tell my own personal stories through this character, I always to write these stories in what I believe to be TowelBoy's voice. He has fictional aspects that I've invented to make a point, or to simply crack a joke. Perhaps I've gotten carried away. I apologize if I've caused any anxiety with my comments. My intention was to entertain you, not to upset you. I take protecting your privacy very seriously.

I have read the offending entry repeatedly, and I can't find any specific information that could betray a customer's identity. If you ever think I've gone too far, please let me know. I read every comment. If something concerns our members, it should concern me, too.

Please read "A Message About Privacy". Please ignore my stupid comments about folks trying to bring us down. (I sound like Hillary Clinton screaming "vast right wing conspiracy" while Bill was getting blown.) And most of all, please forgive this Hot Tranny Mess.

Thanks,
Damian
