Have you sent us email at martin at gnomestew dot com in the recent or not-so-recent past? And if so, did you not get a reply?
That would be because I only NOW figured out that this address is not forwarding properly to my “hub” account and likely has not been for a very long time. I respond to every single legitimate (IE non-spam) email I get from readers, fans, and folks who have something to say about the Stew, so I feel like a HUGE asshole right now.
I’m beginning the painful process of going through unread mail now, and am currently back to November 2011. I’m paying special attention to article proposals, since those have a unique subject line, but it’s entirely possible I’ll miss something.
I’m going to spend tonight working on this, and will go back as far as my sanity allows. If, as of Friday 1/13, you haven’t heard from me and know that you should have, please drop me a line again — and please accept my apology.
I’m so sorry about this! I have tech support holding my hand through whatever process I screwed up to cause this problem, so it should be fixed within 24 hours.
Okay, I’ve made it back to August 1, 2011 and am going to stop there. After my daughter’s in bed, I’ll be responding to as many folks as possible.
Again, please accept my sincere apology if I ignored an email from you. Not doing so is something I pride myself on, and even though it’s a technical glitch I should really have realized something was wrong a lot sooner than I did.
Okay, I’m now fully caught up back to 8/1/11, and won’t be going back further — a combination of needing to preserve my sanity and not thinking that much that was relevant 5+ months ago will still be relevant now.
If you’ve written to me and not gotten a response, please resend. Tech support fixed my screwup, and I’ve tested martin at gnomestew dot com — it works as it should now, and I’ll get your email.
