That sounds like serendipity to me, and serendipity is the nicest grease imaginable on the wheels of publishing.
Hang on, and I'll email Marlene about it.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Email sent. She's back east, so I may not hear until morning, but she's my bestest friend and good as gold about this kind of thing. I'll let you know as soon as she gets back to me.
Besides, she now has three versions of "Restless" in her inbox and as of this morning, had 40pp of "London Calling" left to read, so I'm expecting a whole shitload of stuff from her tomorrow.
Looking at the agency's client list, they've got a couple of solid clients in there. Did they give you any idea how they'd found your site? Is one of them a good gothy fangurl? Because damn, that would be one major and beautifful serendipity.

The person who contacted me said they'd been reading my archives. I haven't replied to them yet, because I'm not done boggling, and I'm afraid any reply would be "OMGSqueee! You want to talk about publishing my stuff? omg omg omg!", which is not so much with the calm, collected, or professional.

Heh. No, it's not, but damn it all, it's natural.
Hopefully have something for you tomorrow, from Marlene.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

That's certainly squeeable, Jilli. Your stuff is both funny and insightful, so I'd think there'd be a market.

Jilli, from Marlene, short and sweet:
They're legit. I don't know any of them personally, though.
