The other day I posted a request for folks who send me news stories to blog to please be sure to include a link to the story to make it easier on me to point people to the original source.
I’d like to make another request that I’ve been thinking about for the last couple of days. It also would make it easier for me to respond to questions folks have. Here’s the situation:
- Sometimes in the comboxes people will raise an issue and say "maybe Jimmy can address this."
- I see most of the comments that get posted (though a few get away from me), and so I (usually) see these requests and make a mental note to respond, BUT–
- I usually can’t compose a response at the time. There are only certain hours of the day I have free to actually compose posts (though I have more liberty in reading what people are saying or posting my own comments).
- Therefore, I end up forgetting either the request itself or where it is located. As a result, despite my best intentions, I end up not responding.
Therefore . . .
If you raise something in the comments box that you’d like me to respond to, could you send me a quick e-mail and do one of two things:
- Include a link to the comment (which you could get in the Recent Comments sidebar), or
- Paste the text of the comment into the e-mail so I’ll have the text of the request handy.
Thanks much! This should make it much easier for me to respond to such requests, it being easier for me to keep track of what’s in my (single) inbox than in (numerous) comboxes.
