Imagethief wants to take a moment and apologize to several people who have sent him e-mails using the blog's "e-mail" link at upper left. For a few weeks it seems GMail has treated all such mail from that form as spam, and redirected it straight into the hole. This is understandable, since that form does generate a lot of spam, but I didn't notice that this was happening since I only ever get occasional mails that way.

At any rate, I've been fishing out the genuine mails from the past month (including everyone who responded to my notice about the freelance writing gig in Dongguan) and I'll be getting back to you all ASAP.

If you have submitted a note to me through the form and it hasn't been answered in the next 24 hours, please try again, or mail me directly at will -at- imagethief.com.

Apologies to everyone who thought I was blowing them off.
