E-mail Policy?

March 21st, 2005

I’m thinking about issuing an e-mail policy for my weblog. I’ve become increasingly busy over the past few months and find that I have little to no time to answer e-mails that come into my gmail account. I read every e-mail that I get, I just don’t have the time to respond to everything. I just feel bad

I’m thinking of the following, which will appear on my contact page:

“If you would like to contact me, the best way to do it is via Skype or IM. I am on both from 9:00AM-5:00PM EST and 9:00PM to Midnight from Monday through Friday. On IM, I’m NYlibrarian and on Skype, I’m stevenmcohen.

The second best way to get a hold of me is to call my cell at 631-645-4516. Please only call between the hours of 7:00AM and 9:00PM EST.

The worst method to communicate with me is via e-mail. I’ll usually try to respond to all e-mail within a week (although that’s pushing it these days), but I can’t promise anything. I’d suggest the above methods if you want to hear back from me right away, although I will respond within a reasonable amount of time regarding presentations, contracts, consulting work, and other business-related activities.”

Does that sound unreasonable?
