How to Contact Me

Those who wish to send PGP- or GnuPG-signed or encrypted e-mail can find Greg's public key here.

Why obfuscate? The numbers tell the story; here are the spam counts per month for the last couple of years:

Note that these counts include not only ``true'' spam but also viruses/worms, bogus bounce messages due to viruses/worms that forge their headers, and virus spam from Symantec, McAfee, et al., who persist in sending advertisements (not so cleverly disguised as cleanup messages) to sender addresses forged by known header-forging viruses/worms. Bah.
