Drop Me a Line

I very much welcome E-mails. Unfortunately, I am very slow responding to them. If you are expecting a response from me and haven't received one in a reasonable amount of time (or if you needed a quick response), then send me a follow-up E-mail asking me why I'm taking so long to answer your message - I won't take offense! :)

E-mails I enjoy receiving:

• Friendly "Hello!"s.
• Idle chat about topics of common interest (e.g., books, computers, genealogy, music).
• Questions about, problems found in, and/or - if you're really having a slow day! - praise for the software I've written.
• Constructive criticism of my web pages; information additions and corrections; link recommendations and updates; etc.
• Requests from students for help on school papers or projects. I'm not an expert on any subject, but, if you have made a good faith effort to find the information yourself, I will attempt to answer any questions you have or to provide any input you might seek. It might help to let me know what grade or college level you're at. Again, if you don't receive a response from me in the necessary time frame, send me a follow-up E-mail with "URGENT!" in the subject line.

E-mails I more or less ignore:

• Spam; messages that have Subject: lines filled with strange characters are immediately deleted.
• Job offerings. I'm not interested in a new job at this time, but I appreciate your interest.
• Requests that I summarize the plot and characters of War and Peace the night before a paper is due or an exam is to be taken. First of all, I haven't read the book in years and, second of all, you were supposed to do the work yourself.
