My Email Policy

Do not send me spam.
Do not send me hoaxes.
Do not send me chain letters. I do not participate in chain letters.

Any message that says something like "Forward this to everyone you can" is most likely hoax or a chain letter.

Jokes are OK, but if the subject line starts with "Re: Re: Re," I've probably already heard it.
Windows viruses, trojans and other malware are OK. My computer is immune to them.

The following types of messages will be treated with low priority:

Messages with a blank subject line
Messages in all capital letters
Messages in English, with extremely poor spelling, punctuation and grammar, from native English speakers
Ad hominem attacks, strawman arguments, and other logical fallacies

The following types of messages will be treated with high priority:

Messages with a valid PGP or S/MIME signature
Messages encrypted with my PGP key

Additional requests:

Do not give my email address to spammers.

If you click a web link that says "Send this page to a friend," and enter my address, you're probably giving my address to a spammer.
If you send me an "electronic greeting card" you're probably giving my address to a spammer.

Do not send me Microsoft® Word documents. I do not have Microsoft® Word. Save them to an open or non-proprietary format (Same for Excel and Powerpoint® files).
