Question or suggestion?

(2 minute read.)

I welcome sensible contact.

Here's how to reach me…

Webnote.

Think, write, click… 's easy.

Your info stays private: used only for the message, and never shared or sold.

For your convenience, a copy of your message will be sent to the email address you provide.

Please note: I get a lot of crap stuff (spam), which is efficiently filtered to trash without me seeing it. So, if you don't receive a reply to a 'sensible and respectful' message, it's perhaps because it was (mistakenly) so-filtered.

To reduce the likelihood of this, in the form below please preface your name with AS136 (that code is experimental and routinely changed).

I'm trying to find a better solution, and am hesitant about using captchas because they often present difficulties to users.

    Email, phone, street address…

    Why are they not available here?

    Email?

    I don't publish my email address, because…

    • 'Clickable links' to open an email app are unreliable (don't work with various browsers/devices).
    • Including an email address on-page in plain text invites spam.
    • Obfuscation (whether tech encoding or simply replacing '@' with 'at', or showing the address in an image) is unreliable.

    Use the webform above to send me a note, and you'll receive a response with my email address.

    Phone?

    I don't publish my phone numbers, because…

    I no longer take incoming calls (they distract me from what I'm doing), or bother with voicemail (it's often too time-consuming - reading a message is faster; plus I've had too many mis-dials and robo-calls to my USA and UK numbers).

    If you want to speak, send a message requesting a call-back.

    Street address?

    I don't publish my address, because…

    I work from home, don't do meets here, and don't want 'I was in the area and decided to stop by' visits.

    If you want to mail something, or meet, send a message and I'll provide an appropriate US/UK address.
