Spam, spam, spam spam

Spam, spam, spam spam

Note: The following ONLY applies to sending me "personal" messages -- it does NOT apply to critiques, manuscripts, or any of the other routine critters mail. Send those as usual.

I hate to do this, but I get, literally, about a thousand spams a day. Every day. Yes, we're talking hundreds of thousands a year. (I've had my addresses for 25+ years. :-) Not all in the Critters box, but that gets tons itself. However, I have my own custom anti-spam software, which is about 99.9% accurate for me (or I'd go insane), but it does misfile a real message as spam every now and then. Hence the solution below. :-)

So, if you want to send me a personal note about something, a special request, comment, etc., and don't want your message shunted off to the spam box :-), put the code word

Nospam: Lazarus Long in the BODY of your message to critters@critique.org. This will bypass my spam filter and I'll get to see your note. This code word will change as soon as it shows up in any spam :-), so check your weekly email for the link to the page with the current code word (if spammers find this page, I'll move it).

Thanks!
