Chances are very good that I'll be able to respond within about a day, maybe two, but I've been becoming busier and busier so don't be surprised if it takes a while longer. I /will/ read your message eventually. Here's a few quick responses that may help: FAQs or other informational documents I maintain Just EMail me with subject "gimme help" (no quotes, body ignored), and you'll get an automatic response with full instructions. misc.news.internet.announce and .discuss (Press Releases, etc.) The appropriate address for submissions to the new newsgroup misc.news.internet.announce is .

Advertising According to the United States Code, Title 47, Chapter 5, Subchapter II, unsolicited advertisements sent via e-mail are illegal in the United States of America. You can get a copy of this document by sending me a message with a Subject: header which reads simply "gimme code47.5.II" (no quotes, nothing else, body of the message will be ignored.) Sorry if it sounds like I'm bitching a lot -- truth is, until I started this autoresponder, the above three categories used to make up less than fifteen percent of the mail I receive. However, I get so much mail every day that fifteen percent is way too much. If your message is not related to any of those things, that's great! Thanks again for your message -- I'll get back to you soon. ---------========== J.D.
