It's a sign of the times, I think, when I actually have so many personal e-mail addresses that I forget which ones actually work. Most, like the e-mail address for this site, go directly to my inbox (one of my inboxes, anyway). Others enter a convoluted maze of auto-forwards and usually end up wasting away in one of two junk mail collection inboxes. Over the years, I've left this trail of abandoned addresses that still bloat up with spam for herbal medicine and "barely legal" porn sites.

Why so many addressess? I've registered four domain names. Each comes with either pop mail or e-mail forwarding, which means at least four addresses for each domain. I have two hotmail accounts ? one is current, one is now a spam recepticle. I have a few addresses with my ISP, but I don't use any of them. I think I must have at least twenty in all.

So now I'll get to the point of today's blog entry: if you've e-mailed me and I didn't respond, then your message is probably lost in the netherworld of misplaced e-mail accounts. Try snail mail instead.
