General apology
Land of emails
Thursday, March 10, 2005 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News
I don't think most people realize this but I receive approximately 1,200 to 1,600 email each day. Of it, about 300 of it I have to look at and I usually have time to respond to about 60 or so each day (sometimes more depending on the day). So anyway, for all of you who email me that don't get a response, I apologize!!

Again, is there not a way for one to contact an administrator without piling up paperwork? Apology accepted, and your reasoning is well-taken. You're a good man.

That's an incredible amount of email. I was shocked when an old email account of mine used to recive 100 emails a day.

150-200 a day here and I am not even important. 
Mailwasher does it for me. It is sometimes really hard to reach You with urgent things, Brad. But then, it is really understood with that amount of mail.

I feel your pain.
Just read every sixth one and delete the rest. That's what I do.

No need to apologize....
I remember my corporate days when I dealt with the same amount of email and of course the submitter felt that their email was the most important one and should be answered first and immediately...
I had a minor problem and taking into consideration the things you and the other staff must deal with on a daily basis I was surprised that I received the response as quickly as I did, so no complaints here
Just remember to take a breath, close the laptop when the work day ends, and don't forget to enjoy your own time!
Have a great day!

Thank you for letting us know. Does it mean I shouldn't expect any response to my email? 
I know that many would be more than eager to help you with the load of mail. Just say the word. It's hard, but I think a customer support is the most important thing for any business. Some expansion's needed here...

Filksoe - generally speaking, I'm not the right guy to be emailing about problems with WinCustomize.

Hey Brad no need to apologise to anyone,you're one of the most hard-working person around,just to keep this community alive.You dedicate your time to this community wholeheardely and in return you get wining,grief and sometimes disrespect.BUT you always respond in a civil maner,with no hard feelings and above all you just work harder to prove everyone who misjudges wrong.I think you are an excellent site admin and the work you do around here is much appreciated.

Reakon you need a couple of monkeys to take some of the workload.
(btw, I sent you an email some weeks ago that I assume got lost in the bulk. I'll be a bit snaeky and meantion it here. It was about adding a language/translation section to the forums. I talked to you briefly on that IRC chat earlier this year. Just wondered if it was comming?)
