my mailbox is already rather time consuming to get through.
If you really, really want to email me, add a “[JC]†in the subject header so the mail gets filtered to a mailbox that isn’t clogged with spam. I can’t respond to most of the email I get, but I do read everything that doesn’t immediately scan as spam. Unfortunately, the probability of getting an answer from me doesn’t have a lot of correlation with the quality of the question, because what I am doing at the instant I read it is more dominant, and there is even a negative correlation for “deep†questions that I don’t want to make an off-the-cuff response to.
