Aha, you want to send me an e-mail...

I have several times been bombarded with vast quantities of e-mail. Some of them very, very lengthy, containing tens of questions. For that reason I have been forced to implement the following rules (which are not applied to personal friends — of course):

1. All e-mail of more than one page (in legal format or A4)*** will be erased without being read (I have received mail containing 15 pages and more). Mail containing questions/arguments/criticism may only have one single question. A few times I have got mail with 50 questions and spent days and days to write a reply. And five hours after I have sent this reply I received a new mail of about the same length. This is of course an impossible situation. If a more lengthy mail for some reason is necessary, please send me a short mail and tell me what you want (debate, questions and what the topic is) and if I feel that this is interesting enough and that I have the time, I might make an exception.


2. You can not count on a reply (most of the mails will not be answered). But I promise to read all mails that I receive (if they are maximum one page and contain only one question/topic). Please do not be angry, if I don't reply to your mail. There is no use bombarding me with new mails. Then you will definitely not get a reply. Instead you will end up in my spam filter.


3. If you have remarks regarding spelling or factual errors in my texts, this will be received with gratitude. I will change if the criticism is relevant.


4. Questions regarding lecturing and similar will always be answered.


5. Most of the mails I receive ask questions regarding topics that can be found on my home page. Please use the text search function to find what you look for!


6. If you have sent me an e-mail, you must wait until I reply (you can always send a short mail where you check if I got your original mail). Sometimes I have received numerous new mails with additional questions or topics from the same person, until I have ended up with ten or more unanswered mails from that very person. This is unacceptable and if you bombard me with mail I will erase them all without reading them.


7. You can normally only send me one mail per month. If you have an ongoing mail exchange with me, this limitation is of course not valid.

I am sorry to have those restrictions. But I have been forced to implement them. The alternative is ending up in a mental institution, which is not part of my future plans. I have a life beside my "Internet life", which means that I have to set limits regarding, among other things, my e-mail correspondence.

You can send e-mail to "krister.renard*gluefox.com". Change the "star" to the "at"-sign and copy this into your e-mail client (if you don't know what the "at"-sign is, I recommend you to make a Google search). The reason that I don't have an ordinary mail-link, and that I write "*" instead of "at" is that I have recently changed mail address and want to make it more difficult for the spam robots to find my address. These robots rigorously scan all Internet sites, and as soon as they find an "at"-symbol they know that this is an e-mail address, which then is included into the spam address database. I want to avoid this as long as I can. Sooner or later they will probably find me anyhow.

Thank you for your understanding regarding my e-mail policy!

***) A page in legal format or A4 contains maximum 3 000 characters including spaces (I decide this dictatorial — so there is no use complaining). All mail which I judge being close to this limit will be copied to MS Word, for checking the number of characters. If more than 3 000 characters, the mail will be erased without being read.
