Medary.com

After a long hiatus, I have opened up the registration to Medary.com. Since I opened it up, I've been rejecting a lot of signup requests--e-mail addresses from China and the like. They don't get approved. They go to cyber-heaven.

If you want to make it through the signup process--to for instance comment on my self-evident wit and brilliance (well, it's evident to me, the self anyway), or to tell me--in the nicest possible way of course, that I'm full of it, it would be a good idea to ask for a user name and/or provide an e-mail address that makes some kind of sense, and won't set off all kinds of alarms when I type that stuff into various search engines to check you out.

It would also help a great deal if you e-mail me to tell me you're a real person, and not some robo-spammer (or a human spammer--hello to all you poor schmucks working in India and elsewhere!). My e-mail address starts with phil. (Don't put the period in the e-mail address. It won't work that way.)

Then you put the little ampersand curly-a at-sign that goes between a user name and a host name.

Then you put haskett.org at the end of it.

Then you can send me e-mail--assuming of course it makes it through the spam filter. If it doesn't, well then sorry about that. You probably should put a subject in the e-mail like "please let me have an account at medary.com." Saying "please" is important, you know. If I decide I like you, I'll let you have an account here, and will let you comment, at least until you get too obnoxiously annoying. If I don't, I won't. Simple.
