Ground Rules part 1: Contacting me

It's nice to have readers for my blog, but for some reason you're stepped over your boundaries. People who actually know me, know where to reach me, but all of you that I don't, this is addressed to you. For some unknown reason, there has been an influx of contact attempts via various media. I've gotten e-mail to all kinds of addresses, Google+ contacts and all such crap.

I just delete those. Got it?

If somebody sends me a hand written letter tied to a flying pigeon, for that person I will answer. Everybody else: you're just doing it wrong. I'm not a normal person like you. I'm not least bit of curious what you might have to say or offer. I just delete all your incoming attempts in a split second. It is just infeasible for me to even suggest you, that I've received your ill-formed connection attempt.

If you want to contact me, do this:

Write a comment this blog.
Preferably to the blog post, which is most appropriate for your reason to contact me. If none are, just pick one, I don't care that much.

The comments are moderated. They always have been and always will be. There has been a fair amount of spam in the comments, which you have never seen. That's because I don't approve them to be publicly visible. Instead, if you write me a comment with your own e-mail address in it and say: "Hi! I was trying to reach you privately, please don't publish this comment." I have no reason to make that public. Most likely given your polite approach, I will even write you an e-mail to your given address. Yes, it's that simple.

Please consider the fact, that I have other things in my life to do/be/see than stare my inboxes for possibly incoming mail. If you'll be considerate, I'll be too. Thank you!
