So why am I so secretive with my email address? It's those darn spammers! A few years ago, you could safely put your email address on your website. Then, spammers created a technology that searched through webpages, plucking out valid addresses that spam could be sent to. So, people got smarter - they created image files that had the email address on it. But again, the spammers created a technology that actually interpreted the images into text so that the email addresses could be harvested.

There does not exist a safe way to display an email address without that address being harvested and then sold again and again to spam lists. That is why I ask that to email me you fill out a form. I have no problem giving my address to people, I just cannot put it directly on my website.

Just in case you were wondering, I am very careful about my email address usage. I will be just as careful and discrete with yours. I can't stand spam just as much as anyone else, and will not sell, distribute, publish, or otherwise share your email address or any personal information.
