I now get almost four hundred emails a day.
Wanna guess their proportion of spam to good content?  
It AIN'T a happy ratio, so I've pulled the links to my email from
the various pages and replaced them with this page and an
image of the three emails you may use to contact me.

They are, in order of their precedence:
BACK TO FRAYED KNOT ARTS
*
BACK TO MAIN LIBRARY PAGE
*
TUTORIALS * KNOTTER TRIBUTE PAGES  *  SAILMAKING, SEABAGS AND DITTY BAGS  *  SEACHESTS AND BECKETS
*
NAUTICAL ANTIQUES  *  FANCYWORK ABOARD VESSELS  *  PERSONAL FANCYWORK  *   BELLROPES   
*
U S NAVY / U S GOASTGUARD FANCYWORK   *  KNIVES AND TOOL EMBELLISHMENTS  *  OTHER INSTRUCTIONAL WEBSITES

I have received numerous complaints that I don't answer my emails...  not true
(as many correspondents who wish I'd shut up can woefully attest).  

What happens is that people will send emails to me with a
blank subject line,
"
RE: (whatever)" or just a "Hi!" in the subject line   Such emails INVARIABLY
get "sucked up" by my "spam traps" and stuck in the orlop.  I will usually look thru
the spam folder before deleting but if I have over 100, I'll just jettison the lot rather
than waste the time.   

"
RE" should only be used when replying to an email: otherwise it looks like a
spam-o-gramme and gets dumped, as will ANY message with a blank subject.

If you don't get a reply from me in a reasonable amount of time, try an
alternate
email or call (I love calls!) me.

Note:  calls between 0800 and 2200, Eastern US Time ONLY, please!

I am only too happy to get emails and converse with those interested in knots and
knotting, so be persistent!
