Its time you knew the truth about why I'm so bad at email. What's been going on is that, out of a combination of hubris and lazyness, I have been using 1980's email technology to manage my own email, instead of using a service.

As a result, I've had (amongst other things) no meaningful spam protection. For a long time it wasn't really that bad, but in the last few years I've been receiving north of 200 spam emails a day, and also your email. I had to delete each of them by hand, and in order to go fast I made lots of mistakes.

Your mail never had a chance.

But a security breach in my network last weekend was the final straw. So I've now thrown away all of my email for the last 8 years and switched it all to GMail for Your Domain. My servers at home are now officially closed except for HTTP and ICMP traffic. Aaaahhhhh.

So now you know: All this time I've been living a lie of email administration, but I'm relieved to say that it's finally over.
