"the entire board of the Federal Government of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation and all of my ex-boyfriends. (There was no overlap.) "
Why is there (see what I did there--present tense) no overlap? There must have been on that board at least one Army Lieutenant who was stinking rich and needing a bride, or a paramour, to help him move his riches.
And: I've always hated that song and its contemptible singer (the fictional one; there's nothing contemptible about Dolly Parton), with her rank cowardice. "Her" man deserves better, whether or not Jolene is that.
"And I can’t tell them in every single newsletter, can I? "
Sure you can. A boilerplate footer at the end of each newsletter--which, like TV discount codes for an advertised product (they do those in France, don't they? I got a bellyful of all the "Neu, von K-tel" ads in Germany...), will tell you the reader read the whole thing.
Separately, you really need to model using logistic equations as applied to crop responses--because you're trying to grow readers and harvest the subscribed ones. (Sadly, Substack's comment facility won't let me present integration formulations or partial differentials.)
