DISCLAIMER: I am rather slow at going through emails (sorry!) but I eventually reply to all of them (we are gentlemen, after all): if you have not received any reply from me after two weeks, chances are that your carrier pigeon has been shot down by my not-so-intelligent (yet!) semantic spam filter. Hence, please rephrase your message (and/or change subject) and try again. However, please note that my emails are organized in threads and I tend to read them in FIFO order so, if you send too many reminders, your email keeps being pushed up and never being read. Also, some email domains that are often source of spam, such as 126.com and 163.com, are permanently blocked. Lastly, please be aware that mid-jan to mid-march is my busiest time of the year, so my response time may be slower than usual during those 8 weeks.
