Yes, I signed the book, and yes I AM female.
Just a suggestion, for anyone worried about being e-mail bombed, think about this: both yahoo and hotmail, as well as a NUMBER of other sites have free anonymous e-mail access. If you're really serious about making contact, do what I did and open an account for tickling interests only and use that for any contact info that comes up. Plus, for any of those people who go a little crazy, there's that nifty little "Block sender" feature...and I KNOW us tickling types have too much decency to spam, right folks??? 😎
