How to Contact Patches
 

 

Most days, I simply cannot respond to the amount of e-mail that arrives each day.

    Here are my priorities: all orders and questions about orders will be handled first. Then I will attempt to balance my time between responding to e-mail and Web site development. None of these areas are being handled well but it is the best I can do.

Currently, 25 to 30% of my e-mail goes unanswered. I try to read every message on the day it arrives but I may not have time to answer until several days later (if at all). Even orders sent by e-mail have been buried for a while because they did not have "Order" in the subject heading of the message and I did not read them right away.

I work days (flex time, thank goodness) and only have evening and weekends to handle e-mail, Web site development, and process video orders. My husband, Pi-Pi, helps a lot with the video orders and takes care of the housework for me so I can have time on the computer.

Here are some tips that may improve your chances of receiving a personal reply:

  • If you have a question, read our FAQ first to see if your question is already answered.
  • Don't ask me for help with picture decoders, viewers, or other computer programs. Ask those questions in one of the computer newsgroups. You will get an answer much quicker.
  • Don't ask me to send you watersports pictures. There are other people who like to trade watersports pictures in the watersports newsgroups. Post a message there asking for pictures.
  • Keep your message short. This is very important. If I can't reply with a sentence or two, I will skip your mail until I have more time to write. Many times, such mail gets buried and I never get back to it.
  • If you are looking for a pen pal, look in the alt.sex.fetish.watersports newsgroup or the alt.sex.watersports newsgroup for someone interesting. Or better yet, put a personal ad at Alt.com. While I am willing to be helpful, I am not interested in finding someone to chat with about sex. If you just want to chat, use the IRC!
  • Make sure your e-mail return address is valid. I continue to get e-mail, mostly from new Net surfers, who have not configured their mail program properly. Some have even sent me serious questions that I want to answer but any attempted reply bounces back to me. This frustrates me as well as the person who would like a response.
  • Don't be insulting! I would not reply to "wannas" even if I had time.
  • My public PGP key is available for anyone who needs it for completely private e-mail messages. For information about PGP and how to get it, see our Protect Your Rights page.
