I'm honestly surprised he hasn't delegated that yet and or least given the
task to someone who can filter them out. (I mean all the crap useless emails
from people who probably shouldn't be responded to,) He should charge money for
responding to emails and then donate a portion of that to free software
creation and activism. Then again, given the recent stuff that went on
(especially with his personal website) I understand if he feels there is no one
he could trust with his email.

As for the autoreply you got from his email address, I've gotten that
autoreply whenever I've emailed him for at least the last 15 to 20 years. He
has a policy of responding to every email he receives. Given the huge number
of emails he receives every day, I have no idea how he manages to keep up. But
that's why he has that autoreply. Given everything he's had to deal with
recently, it wouldn't surprise me if he's having trouble keeping up with
responding to incoming emails.

RMS is not home. I hope he's not dead. Maybe the Google spies got him. Or the
CIA. I'm really worried. Perhaps he's really at the edge of the solar system.
Or in a secret prison in Afghanistan.

I am not on vacation, but I am at the end of a long time delay. I am
located somewhere on Earth, but as far as responding to email is concerned,
I appear to be at the edge of the solar system.
After your message arrives at gnu.org, I will collect it in my next batch of
incoming mail, some time within the following 24 hours. I will spend much of
the following day reading that batch of mail and will come across your
message at some point. If I write a response immediately, it will go out in
the next outgoing batch--typically around 24 hours after I collected your
message, but occasionally sooner or later than that. Please expect a minimum
delay of between 24 and 48 hours in receiving a response to your mail to me.
If your message is hard to understand or responding takes real work,
the response could take longer.
So please wait 48 hours after sending a message before you resend it,
remind me about it, or ask if I have received it. If it has been less
than 48 hours, the absence of a response from me only means you have not
given me time to answer.
If you are having a conversation with me, please keep in mind that each
message you receive from me is a response to the mail you sent 24 to 48 hours
earlier, and when writing it, I probably had not yet downloaded your later
mail.
If you do not wish to receive this message ever again, please send a message
to [email protected] with the subject "OFF".
Otherwise, you might receive a reply like this one up to once a month.
