Just wanted to post this cause it's a stupid problem that just keeps continuing on a daily basis....
I consistently get emails asking for advice from people, and I got no problem at all answering them. In fact sometimes, like tonight, I spend an hour helping somebody out with a question...spend some time re-doing an MP3 for em or recording guitar parts etc....

Then I send it out to the guy who emailed me and $%#%# damnit, the mail comes back with a message like this:

> This Message was undeliverable due to the following reason: Each of the
> following recipients was rejected by a remote mail server. The reasons
> given by the server are included to help you determine why each
> recipient was rejected.
>
> Recipient:
> Reason: tor1@juno.com Mail quota exceeded

So now I've got an hour wasted anwering this guys question and I can't even send him a reply.
Now he's gonna think I'm a total prick for not replying to him cause he didn't leave an alternate email address.

So.... if ya send me an email and expect an answer... please empty your mailbox of saved messages if you're on a public service like hotmail or whatever. Alternately, give me a second email that I can get in touch with you.

I answer 99.9% of my emails so if you don't hear back from me, assume that something screwed up & don't just think I'm being a hot shot and ignoring you. Email me again and double check.

Many thanks and whiffle sandwiches.

i have added an "important note" to my mainpage where i ask peeps to include a valid email - it helped so far.

this just isn't your day is it?
To improve technique and of course trying to keep all as clean as possible. I know my own limits and speed limits and so on I never play anything I'm not capable of. That wouldn't make any sense. After three years of playing I tried to play everything as fast as possible and that sounded, I would say, like shit, and I didn't realize that if I'd play bit slower things than I was capable of playing then everything would sound much better.
