I was looking through my black hole of an email inbox today and am truly horrified by how many issues, emails to this list, or personal emails I've left hanging over the months and years.
Sincere apologies all around. I get a lot of email and it can be hard to triage. What I respond to immediately is some combination of whether it asks a specific and short enough question that I already know the answer, and how busy I am at the very moment I first see the email. Sometimes I drop everything and respond quickly even if it takes some work. Sometimes I think "I don't have time to give this a thoughtful reply right now, but I'll get to it"... and then it slips through the cracks. Actually, that's more than "sometimes." The promptness and volume of my response is often related to what else is on my plate at the moment; it may resonate and produce substantial results, or it may be so far outside what I'm concentrating on that day/week/month that it just seems to slip by without getting my attention. If I give an inadequate response, I can assure you that it is unrelated to whether I truly want to help, am able to help, intend to help. It sure doesn't mean I'm singling you out to ignore, that I disapprove of what you're doing, or anything personal at all. It's a simple failure to juggle more inputs than I can possibly handle. Sometimes I just assume that if it's important enough, you'll poke me again. So do poke again if it's important. I never mind an email that says "you never got back to me on this, and I still haven't figured it out." -- Larry Gritz [email protected] _______________________________________________ Oiio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openimageio.org/listinfo.cgi/oiio-dev-openimageio.org
