So much this — my inbox is a black hole and while I feel remiss when I don’t get back to many emails, I would relish in ignoring these if it weren’t part of the problem clogging my inbox. If you work at a for profit company looking to make money off me in any way, and you email me multiple times and even *gently* suggest that I’m remiss in having not replied, you will guarantee that not only will you never hear from me, but that I will dislike you & your product.
