This is why I'm up at 1:00 AM writing my blog posts. I often put in 13 hour days at the office. You hit the nail on the head. This is why I’m up at 1:00 AM writing my blog posts.

If I didn't love computers and technology I believe I would've despaired already by now.

Let me explain. eWeek is a magazine - basically they send email all the time with little tidbits about this and that. Sometimes it is useful, sometimes it is not. I delete those emails that are not interesting because they aren't personal. It is a list. I'll put a link on eWeek to make it more obvious that these are not personal emails that I'm deleting. @someone

If you are saying that you are trying to send me an email there is no reason you should be getting a bounce sending to me. I get dozens of emails every day, and if an email requires a reply I reply. I'd like to know what you think is not appropriate in my comments. I suspect you didn't read my post. I didn't say anything about not answering emails or not helping people out when they need help. @someone

Your post is bound to be popping up on someone's top ten list of things not to say in a blog.
