First, I literally receive hundreds of e-mail messages every day.  It is possible that your message got thrown out with the trash.

Spamcop filters my e-mail.  Suspected spam is stored in a held-mail folder.  I don't open every message.  If the from field is a bunch of letters and numbers, I will probably delete it unread.

Other e-mail is deleted unread if the subject has anything to do with
• obtaining a diploma
• buying property
• applying for a mortgage
• purchasing a pharmaceutical
• online dating
• or enlarging a body part

I even delete the messages that offer a way to manage spam.  Imagine that!  Spam about too much spam.

To prevent your message from appearing to be spam, please use a meaningful subject line.  If your message came as an attachment, I will open the e-mail but not the attachment.

Second, I do have a life outside of the computer.  I may be busy with other things.  Even with the best of intentions, I don't always have time to answer all my mail.

Lastly, I may have started the reply and the message is in my to do queue.  Be patient.  I usually answer sincere requests for information.

Just so you know:  If your e-mail message has the subject, "hi", and it is spam, I will report it to spamcop. Just so you know.

In the meantime, search my site.  Your question may have already been answered.

Read my blogs.  I usually will write what is going on in my Dear Friends blog.

If your question is about Alaska, check out Alaska Living at Yahoo groups.

If your question is about wheat-free cooking or coping, check out Wheat-free Living at Yahoo groups.  You will have to join this group to read the messages since the archives are for members only.

If you are a member of one of my groups, please put "offlist" in the subject line.  I read those messages before the others.

If you are a member of my family, you can read my excuses here.
