> What did you send me email about? I have this nasty habit of deleting email before reading it entirely if I decide that it is something "Sam will handle," which usually includes anything that has to do with RinkWorks--unless it deals directly with one of my three "solo" features, or seems to be a direct inquiry aimed at me.

Hmmm. Well, my letter had a polite, formal tone to it; I had some general comments directed to you. I commented on your SF/F site in general. I asked you about DUNE AND SF in general. Hence I fear there was no forceful emphasis in tone that screamed "Dave, ya gotta answer this NOW". In short, my letter must have gone to the Great Bit-Bin in the Sky. Ah, woe.


> In other words, if I get email with a BAM submission or request, an email of general praise about nothing in particular (you'd be surprised how many people send "fan letters" without ever really getting around to what it is they are a fan of), or (as is too often the case) a piece of junk email that says something like "I can help you increase the hits on your site!!!!", I "let Sam handle it."

> So, if your email falls into one of those categories, I probably never read the whole thing, assuming that "Sam would handle it." If, on the other hand, you actually sent me a question directly aimed at me, or something about IABBBBM, The Filmmaker's Exam, or the Writer's Resources page, I appoligise. You'll probably have to send it again.

Ok, a *specific* question for you Dave: This insidious pattern of deletedness and electronic trails lost to the twilight zone makes me wonder if you ever received my para anti-parody of your parody "Duel of the Ages". I don't know if it is of any lasting interest; but you see, in *my* version, the great warrior Darius triumphs o'er the hapless Blood Drops in a fashion decisively and indominably, with a keen hunger to Darius' ferocity to which there can be no refute. Have you seen this? :-)
