[CIMC-work] Fwd: [IMC-Editorial] Please remove my street address!!!

[James Crawford]

Dear Ms. Fraser,

Posting my email address along with the article is fine, and so is linking
to my web site. Or you could remove the article from your site. I really
don't care.

What was not fine was your posting of my home street address along with my
article. After a week of sending repeated hysterical emails, I finally got
the attention of someone named Chris, who complied with my request and
removed my address.

All this has been a lesson to me. From now on, I plan to ignore any and all
requests to repost my work on amateur sites such as yours that can't even
answer their email on a timely basis.

James Crawford
