When you do not know me personally and send a message to the above e-mail address that is not related to these pages, my work, or colleagues, you are considered a spammer and the rest of this note applies to you. Spammers (that is you) have become an issue. All spam messages are passed to our filters and do not get through the next time. This is regardless of any bogous ''legal'' notes, I do not waste my time reading them. Sadly, because of annoying repugnant spammers (you) we have to fend off whole popular mail sites, such as hotmail, yahoo, etc.
