As you have no doubt noticed, spam e-mail is on the rise in this little online universe of ours. As someone whose e-mail address is public and repeated at least four-odd times a day, I get more than my share. Ahhhh...the price of fame.
Nevertheless, for those who write me at the blog address, a request: Please use the word Blazers or Blog or even Blazersedge somewhere in your subject headline. Names of players will also do, or something distinctive at least. Please don't title your e-mails "Hello" or "A Note for You" or some other nebulous heading which makes me try to guess whether your name sounds like a reader or a spambot. Those of you who are long-time correspondents don't have to worry so much, as I know your addresses by sight. But even then there's the risk of your note getting sorted into the "bulk" (i.e. "spam") file and a prominent word in the title helps catch my eye before they're irrevocably deleted.
I wouldn't want to miss any of your letters or have you think I was unresponsive. This simple step will help make sure I actually get to see what you write!
