You can use this link to send email to Michael Tatum. The link should work if your browser has javascript enabled. If not, solve this puzzle: the domain name is gmail.com and the account name is downloadersdiary. The reason for this obscurity is spam avoidance. That's also the main reason I don't allow comments or trackbacks on the blog -- that and the maintenance of trying to weed out the dubious crap (e.g., one time I did loosen up on a blog entry we got hundreds of trackback hits from gambling sites).
