E-mail policy


E-Mail policy

E-mails to my mailaddress that have no title that clearly relates to my site or to me, if they are not from senders I have previously mailed with, will be removed without viewing or opening from my provider's server by me without pardon or pause. (And "Hey Maarten, how are you?", as a title by somebody not already known to me, will be regarded spam and removed.)

I receive far too much spam, and my provider seems unable or unwilling to block it, even if they themselves - their software - classify it as spam.

Also, at least Dutch e-mails that are clearly spam that I have not personally asked for or given permission for will be complained about by the authorities, now this has been forbidden, for I very much dislike spam.

And for those who hope to avoid this by producing a falsified mail reputably by me: There are just two firms I have allowed to send me mail to inform me about their products - and they know, or ought to know, I do not pay any bills by means of the internet, for I cannot and donot want to. (So non-Dutch commercial firms just waste their and my money and time by trying to court me for business.)

Finally, personal mail that reaches me that I find idiotic (insane, very stupid, incoherent, pointless) I will not answer - and please note this does not mean I will not answer people who disagree with me, but only that I do require a minimal amount of rationality and clarity to make me consider the possibility of an answer.

You can disagree with me as much as you like, and yet you may well get a clear and polite answer if you write out your disagreements in a clear way.
