The open e-mail project

gmail overload

I had an epiphany while under the influence, but instead of thinking twice before including it here, I figured what the hell.

Ever had a great e-mail conversation and thought it was a crying shame that no one else would get the benefit of the astonishing insights, clever bon mots, and various and sundry flashes of unbridled brilliance contained therein?

I welcome anyone who's interested to start an e-mail dialogue with me, on any subject we can both agree on. I'm easy. Here are some of my faves:

Pop/rock: In college, I got an A in rock music. "Nuff said.

Arts and Letters: I'm in favor of them.

Religion and Politics: I have problems with them, but like to blab about them anyway.

Mental health issues: psychology, psychiatry, shrinks, your diagnosis, mine, and everyone else's.

Assholes. Fill in the blanks.

These are just a few of the many topics I'd love to explore mano a mano. Here's some options:

A. Just do the vanilla private rambling e-mail thing.

B. If anything of blinding brilliance develops, I could take our precious pearls of wisdom, edit them, and post them here as a scintillating, titillating dialogue--with your permission, of course.

C. Use this as a jumping off point for future posts (giving credit where credit--and links--are due, natch).

D. Or something.

Shades of the Algonquin Roundtable!

If anyone is interested, etc. etc....contact me etc etc....

Thank you and goodnight.
