Alex, did I criticize the post? Did I say I thought it was bad? No, I did not. I used it as a springboard to invite discussion on how close you should get to your readers, and if this was a smart way to invite communication. Too bad you failed to see that part. Was that due to surgery? (Yep, that joke was just as lame as yours, there you go! ;))

Tadd, I don’t doubt that Matt can handle the extra spam this leaves him. As I said, it might even be a small prize to pay for the post in question.

I’m sure he has some bad spam filters to keep from getting trolled all year. Or, perhaps, these are his PERSONAL email contacts – since his mother his listed I doubt these are from his public email account. Even I, lowly in the ‘net totum pole, use one account for private corrispondance and one for the public.

Dangerous as it may seem to invite spam, I’m sure he’s not concerned nor unprepared for the mailbombs.

Very sweet to see you’re concerned for his e-well being :)

Just a guess – was your sense of humour surgically removed?

Obviously? You don’t see the problem with doing posts like Matt’s, with that kind of audience?
