Also, if you put [Bald Dog] in the subject line, your email gets filtered into a specific folder, so it can't get caught in the junk folder. And although I regularly check my junk folder, for the sake of speed I encourage you to use the [Bald Dog] tag in the subject line.

There is one more thing. Some people say it's not professional to use a Gmail email address. Maybe not. But I can tell you it's more reliable than the email service 99.99% of hosting companies provide. Why? Because, unlike most Internet hosting companies, Google has the money to invest both in top-notch technology and top-tier talents to build kick-arse applications, so the services are nipplipiercingly reliable. And for me reliability is more important than merely looking business-like. I'm a bit of a practical guy. You could say, a down-and-dirty pragmatist. Hope you understand.

When you contact me, you will NOT be added to any database. Your name is also treated as top secret and 100% confidential. I practise total client confidentiality, so I never reveal the names of my clients. Thanks for your understanding.

Why I Prefer Email

Since I've been told several times that I should be readily available on the telephone, I've decided to write down why I prefer email as a means of communication. I faded the telephone out of my life a few years ago because I had grown tired of playing constant telephone tag. Many people couldn't keep even pre-arranged time-frames for phone discussions.

My idea with email is to be responsive to current and potential clients, and effective at doing my work and rendering my services. And email helps me to do just that. So, here are some points that may help you to understand the method to my madness.

Email messages allow virtually endless tweaking of your message until it says exactly what you mean to say. It can totally remove ambiguities and encourages senders to use judicious brevity.

Email lets you ask for help from colleagues, peers, friends, etc. to compose the best and most succinct and easy-to-understand messages. In doing so, email promotes collaboration.

Email lets you participate in several conversations parallel, without making others feel that they are sidelined in favour of someone else. Don't you just hate when you get put on hold on the phone? I do. On email you can make everyone feel special.

Email allows you to have a "paper trail" of all the messages and what was communicated. Knowing you have to live with your message, email promotes honesty. Of course this is a problem for people who love twisting the truth, and prefer not to commit their words to keyboard.

Email is free of body language and vocal inflections which often cause the message to be misunderstood. Email relies on reason and logic while removing the emotional ingredients body language and tone of voice can introduce. It also reduces biases that can enter the equation due to gender, race and national origin.

Email makes it possible for us to think before reacting and responding. It encourages people to properly digest messages before formulating their responses. It also encourages people to use the language correctly, which advances professional stature and relationships.
