Please note that sending unsolicited bulk messages (Spam) to any of my e-mail
addresses is regarded as an abuse of resources, and measures are taken on
an ongoing basis to protect these. I maintain a personal blacklist, and
organisations which persistently subscribe me to mailing lists without my
permission, or fail to honour my unsubscribe requests, will be placed on this.
All mail from these offenders will be bounced unread.
PLEASE don't subscribe
any of my published e-mail addresses to any mailing list.
However relevant or well-intentioned this is unwelcome, and I regard
it at least as a
discourtesy and at worst no different from spamming. If
you think there's a mailing list I need
to be on, ask me first, and I will give
you an appropriate alternative address to subscribe.
If you want me to respond to your e-mail quickly,
PLEASE don't send me Microsoft or other
large/proprietary attachments !
They waste bandwidth, disk
space & time, and have poor compatibility with the open systems
not just I use. Note I normally filter these and there may be a delay
in me seeing the attachment
contents until I get to connectivity fast enough to download them to
a compatible platform.
Finally, note that I regard Microsoft's "OOXML" file format as a proprietary attempt to distort
the open standards process - PLEASE don't send me DOCX, PPTX or XLSX files as I can't read them.
HTML, ODF
and PDF attachments are okay - URLs are even better :-)
Thank you for your co-operation.
