A Word About Ads

The advertising on this site keeps the site free for you and allows me to be paid for the time involved in maintaining a site like this.

Email Your Guide

Like all the Guides at About.com, I'm a real person. If the items above are not appropriate to your situation, feel free to email me. Your comments and suggestions are welcome! To keep my email volume manageable, please consider these requests before emailing me:

• NO email attachments. I delete them unopened.
• I prefer plain text email over stationary.
• Use an informative subject line. If your message has no subject or looks like spam, I may never see it.
• Use good English and grammar. It's the only language I know. Don't use ALL CAPS, but do separate sentences with the best punctuation you can muster, and use the Shift key where appropriate.
• A kind request goes a long way. I don't respond to impolite demands. And if you received an answer and found it helpful, I do appreciate it when you take a moment to let me know.
• Please don't email me to ask me about my last name. I don't do genealogy and I find these questions intrusive.
• Your questions about choosing or using graphics software should be posted in the graphics software discussion forum. I'm sorry, but I don't provide personalized answers by email or telephone. If you ignore this request and email your question to me anyway, it will only slow down your answer, but you will get a nice form letter from me asking that you to post your question in the forum. :-)
