Email is good.

A blog ostensibly about email productivity by Chris Coyier who you can email, obviously, at chris@coyier.com

Amelia Bellamy-Royds:

… at this point whenever I send an email and don’t get a reply, I just assume that it has been blocked by some over-eager spam filter & that way I don’t have to feel rejected that someone doesn’t have time or interest in replying.

I trust that everyone else likewise assumes the best intentions for me.

Since it’s hard to know why you don’t get a response to an email (without being annoying or intrusive) maybe it’s best to not assume anything bad. You can’t control them, but you can control you.

It’s like when I’m driving and someone speeds in front of me in an unsafe way, rather than go “what a prick”, I go “that baby is coming! get her to the hospital!”. I don’t know what the truth is, so might as well pick the fun one.
