Would you like to encourage, exhort or spam me? This is the place to do that. I do attempt to read and reply to each email I receive. Occasionally (very occasionally) I publish the text of an email on my site (though I do not usually name the author) so if it is imperative that your email remain private please indicate this and I will respect your right to privacy.

Do note that while I do love to hear from those who read this site, I will no longer read essays or articles that are forwarded to me by an author who has not first established contact with me. In other words, if you have written an article that you would like to share with me, please get to know me first and ask if I'd like to read it. I also don't have time to edit or proof-read your article. Sorry. Please note that I do not typically respond to requests dealing with A La Carte suggestions or King for a Week suggestions (though I am always grateful for them and do appreciate them).
