Micah Tillman

I realize that, since you have to provide your e-mail address to comment on this site, some of you may be wary of commenting. So I’ve written a Platonic Dialog to answer your questions on the subject:

You: What will you do with my e-mail address?

Me: Ignore it, for the most part. Or I might send you an e-mail to say thanks for your comment, or to ask you a question. But this is unlikely, given that I usually just ignore my e-mail. I won’t give or sell your information to anyone.

You: That’s a load off my mind.

Me: Good. I don’t want to seem scary.
