Be specific; be precise

Specific - If you e-mail me, and you get no reply, my spam blocker probably eliminated your e-mail for having a subject line that is too general. Please, if you send e-mail, make the subject line specific, as in "I read your blog" or "I'm from the FFF" or "When does your book club meet?" If you just say "Hi," "Hiya," "Hey there," or "howdy," my spam filter will divert the e-mail to the SPAM bin.

Precise - Please let me know if you have a question. But remember, if we're dealing with sensitive issues, I have to answer with discretion. I don't give replies to strangers who demand confidentiality. I don't want to speculate. I can provide some references to threads on the FFF; and this blog makes "Preying From the Pulpit," (a television documentary about Jack Hyles and FBCH), available for audio download. You can also download and listen to the former Paula Hyles (Dave's first wife) give a telephone interview.

So vague questions and vague rumors that people bring to me via e-mail are things I must sidestep. I can answer precise questions (even with "I don't know" if that's the answer). I want to help people who want some doctrinal guidance or information on this mess in Fundamentalism, but I cannot help people who come at me telling me how to do what I do or suggesting rumors of what might have been. Some genuine documentation is available at this blog, and I want people to make use of it. We only speculate and wonder when we don't know the facts. But the goal is to know the facts. And that takes time to download and listen to, but it's time well spent.
