I’m not ignoring you
If you sent me a personal message in the last few weeks, do not despair if you haven’t heard back from me. I let my email box get out of control, and am now sorting my way through over 1,000 emails. Many are chaff, but I have to clear the chaff out before I can find the wheat. This could take a couple of days (during which time, of course, I’ll get a few hundred more emails that I’d better winnow through or find myself buried under).
So, I am not ignoring you. I’m just a bad time manager.
