ThickAsThieves: "Kickstarter: Hi Sam,Thanks for writing in, and congratulations on the success of your project! If you'd like to know more about backers who have found your project, you can always take a look at their profile to get a better feel for them. "
ThickAsThieves: "Dear Kickstarter, .... A good number of our backer profiles have no previous Kickstarter history.
