The title sounds like a communicable disease, doesn’t it? Anyhoo…
Contacting me is changing around here.
Just an FYI in case you have thought about talking to me about, well… anything really… one-on-one.
I’ve decided against continuing to make the contact form available on my “about” page. For every single legit attempt to communicate with me, I get about fifty to a hundred spam contacts. Over the years, I’ve also had some very odd communications from folks as well.

Please comment instead on this or any standard post indicating that you would like me to contact you by the email address associated with your comment and explicitly state your reasons for wanted me to contact you in the comment. I will reach out to you privately if your reasons seem legit and I am interested in what has been proposed.
I expect most of you reading this will have already reached out to me for direct communications and will be unimpacted. This is more for those who have thought about filling out the contact form but haven’t gotten around to actually doing so.
