Thanks for all the feedback, folks! You really know how to make a newbie feel welcome.

UnchartedOutlaw: Sorry 'bout that. Thought I was just being "manly and impulsive". I'd like to see your response (There are two Zoe posts out there, why not multiple Mals?)

"You're the nicest guy I ever got tortured with."

This one made me laugh ("what you did tonight" and "tattoo")...and yet, I felt a lump in my throat at several of the answers especially "inspiration".

Despite the fact that I'm fairly sure Mal would delete a chain email faster than you can say "Wash, quit sendin' me this crap" .. well, I liked it. Especially "incense, lately," "chateau Kaylee," and the one where he argued with everybody. Thanks for a fun read.

Realistic despite that he would probably delete that email without answring... and my favs are 4, 15, 32, 38 and 45. :)
