I just transferred 40,000+ emails from a desktop computer to a laptop computer using a 500 MB USB flash drive-thing. It took all day. Then I went into some directory on my hard drive and futzed with something I shouldn’t have futzed with and I just lost all the email people have sent me in the last month.

If you sent me an email in the last 30 days, I don’t have it. I’m really sorry. There were some important emails which now I am scrambling to remember before my mind goes blank.

All this to say, if you sent me a nice email message of a personal (or liveblog-feedbackery) nature, it is GONE. Please excuse the fact that I cannot reply to it, and send it again.
