I never "blast emails" anywhere. What you're thinking of is when I send an email to this group and to the Pulp Factory and maybe copy in a friend in Virginia. Hardly an email "blast" that lacks consideration for whether I think the recipients want to receive it or not. I've been assuming you guys, being proud geeks like me, would be INTERESTED in such things. As a small-press author who writes things geeks tend to like, I assumed you all would be as interested in a new SF book by me, or a podcast on a subject you might be interested in, as in a new cell phone. In other words, if I do a podcast with RevSF or with ESO, I figure it's likely something some of you might be interested in or would want to know about. Just as I want to hear about Mike's and Shag's productions. The reason I joined this group, and the only reason I've stayed, was to receive such information about the activities of Mike and Shag. Coming aboard, I assumed much of the traffic here would be about the newest Long Box episodes, etc. So, similarly, i assumed my own postings about such activities would be welcomed and valued. Clearly I was very wrong, and I apologize. Since this board is not remotely serving the needs I came to it with--I never get the desired info from those guys-- and since I've proven to be a real problem here with the choices I've made on it, I'll sign off. No hard feelings. I just misunderstood the purpose of this group. By the way, Luke has been by far the best thing here. Y'all should be WAY nicer to him. Most days, he's the only one really making an effort. Ravenface is a joke. But y'all already knew that. --Van -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Unique Geek" group.
