Website mail

The website is getting a bit overwhelmed with email asking us questions. The only writers we have to answer questions are Jackie Clay at her blog and Jeff Yago on his Get Powered Up energy section on the Home Page. These two can only handle so many questions in their fields of expertise because they too have their own lives and jobs. If you’ve asked a question about a particular subject or have asked for more info about a topic contained in a past article, and you haven’t gotten an answer, it’s probably because we don’t have anyone available to answer it.

Sometimes I’ve responded to individual emails and explained that the author of a particular article is not here to answer his or her question. But I’ve fallen behind on this, and it seemed kind of pointless anyway. We are a small magazine with lots of work to do to get each issue out. We don’t have the time to elaborate on what has been written in the past, and we don’t have the time to locate, then contact the writers of the articles, most of whom want to be paid for their services anyway. We paid them to write the articles, so they would expect to be paid to do any more work. This website is free, and we have no money to pay people to answer questions.

So I guess readers will just have to use the articles published on the website as a starting point, then do some research on our site or other sites if they want additional information.

I also have several email queries from writers about previous submissions. We’ll get back to you pretty soon. I’ve been kind of sidetracked with the upcoming special issue, which requires a lot more work than a regular issue.

I’m also deleting both blog posts of Feb. 26, as they refer to a post that has already been deleted so it seems pointless to keep these. I think the subject of these posts will be pleased with these final deletions.
