Before you e-mail me, please read the rules and regulations first!!! 1. No spam mail and no e-mails regarding business deals.  Come on, people. First of all, I don't send spam mail out, and second I am not -- I repeat, AM NOT A BUSINESS.  If I don't send you any e-mail regarding either of the two, I would prefer the same out of you.  I don't mind you telling me how you like my website or what have you or if you have any questions regarding any form of cosplay that I do.  That's fine with me.  Otherwise, don't waste my time sending me info about Viagra, Weight Loss Programs, Credit Card Accounts, Earn More Money, Porn, or any other annoying e-mails when I haven't even inquired any information about them.  And please don't think you're fooling me by posing as a certain business.  I can SEE through the facade.  In other words, don't call me; I'll call you. 2. Mom always told me, "no matter who you are, how good you are, or what not, there's always going to be someone in this world who absolutely can't stand you", and that's fine with me.  Having said that, if you don't like me, don't e-mail me period.  I have other things to worry about than online scuffles.  I don't mind if you e-mail me with constructive criticism about my website, but please don't tell me that my website sucks or any vulgar remarks.  And if any of you have a bone to pick with me regarding my cosplaying experience (and so far nothing has happened... yet), I'd prefer if you'd deliver the message up close -- face to face, woman to woman/ man to woman.  Wakarimasu ka? :) 3. I don't mind if you have files you wish to share with me, but please be careful when sending me huge files.  If you have WinZip, please do not be afraid to use it.  Personally, I prefer zipped files for e-mail attachments. Unfortunately, my e-mail doesn't support MP3s or files that are more than 1 MB. :(  Hey, I don't make the rules regarding files.  My server is the one that does that. I will not make any exceptions to family, friends, or fiancés. Sorry, but favoritism and nepotism can’t get you out of this. But then again, I don’t believe in “isms”. 4. Please no flooding. I do not take kindly to those who find it funny to jam my e-mail space. I don’t go around sending e-mails every freaking minute to any one person, and I would appreciate the same out of you. If you’re one of those people who flood e-mail accounts to be annoying, not only will you end up on my block list, but I can also bust you harassment. I have friends in high places that work in law enforcement. I’m not joking here. 5. Please don't e-mail me to help you with images or website design.  I barely have enough time to get this website up and running, plus the fact that I work a full time job.  I'll make it short here.  For images, I use Adobe Photoshop, and for animated images, I use Fireworks MX.  For my website design, I use either Claris Home Page or Netscape Composer, whichever tickles my fancy.  Hope this helps. :) 6. Please use spell checker before sending me any e-mail.  Usually, I'm very picky about spelling and grammar, but I have to remind myself that not everyone on the internet speaks English.  Okay, I don't mind seeing maybe one or two typographical errors (if it makes you feel any better, I make those myself; I'm not going to deny that), but if I see an excessive amount of spelling errors (and if English is your native language), your e-mail will end up in the trash can of my account, plain and simple. 7. Please, no chain mail.  Do you think I have the time to scroll to the bottom of the screen, read everything that's written, and forward the message ranging from 5-20 people?  Uh... no.  Again, that goes back to wasting my time, and resulting in having another e-mail message going into the trash can. Okay, here's my e-mail address: "type in my domain name (w/o the www and the .net part)"ATyahoo.com Yeah, right, like I'm going to link my e-mail address, so people can send me spam mail left and right.  I don't think so.
