I get what they're saying. I run a weekly newsletter, and often my "call to actions" are asking people to reply. Of the 6.5k people on my list, I've probably chatted in one way or another with at least 20% of them.

It's definitely relationship building at scale, and while I know it's "write once, send N-times", myself and most of the people on my list see a distinction between my newsletter and a grid of items on sale.

For what it's worth, your newsletter is one of a couple I've manually moved to my Primary tab.

I consider this to be one of the highest compliments one can pay to a newsletter so I just signed up for it on this basis (also your landing page was pretty good).
