A request for the floor.

[seanan_mcguire]

People of the Internet, please, please, please, when you use my website contact form to get in touch with me, please include an address so I can respond to you? Sending me messages with blank "from" lines just means...

a) I can't answer, even if you ask direct questions, and
b) I get really frustrated, because I at least try to answer all my mail.

So please, please provide me with an email address so I can answer you. It makes things a lot more stressy when you don't.

Thanks.

Because of code reasons.

that's really odd. i know your site isn't built with wordpress like mine but i have a contact plugin that lets me configure however i want it to - mostly to keep spammers from annoying the hell out of me. it can't be that hard to make a line with email as a required field. one of my friends handbuilt his contact page. i can find out what he did.

Mari, please don't take this the wrong way, but no, thank you. There are a great many factors involved in maintaining my website, which is constructed in CSS and has a hand-coded back end. It is not currently possible; when it is possible, my webmaster will handle it; I really don't want to go into detail on why I cannot make an on-the-fly code demand, and I don't want to confuse things with outside code.

Thank you for understanding.
