Subject: Thanks, but I'll decline Hi Ahmed. There are two reasons for a lack of email address on my website. The first is spam: I used to put a contact address on site, but it didn't take long to become unusable. The second is that in a public forum like this, people can see my replies, and this adds to the content available on my site. Blame my experience in running community websites for the BBC, but I much prefer this kind of communication medium to email! Thanks for the invitation to join TravelPost, but I think I'll decline. My website is already an excellent showcase of my writing, and I'm afraid I just can't see the advantage of replicating my content on someone else's site. My site has an excellent Google rating, so if it's all right with you, I think I'll stick to publishing my writing here. Many thanks for asking, though, and I wish you all the best with TravelPost. It looks excellent. Best wishes, Mark |
