Welcome!

You are a brave soul for visiting and trying to convince your email program that Arthur Slade's Somewhat Clever Newsletter is important to you. But you can tame this dragon! You can!

Your providers work to keep spam out, but sometimes the systems see my words as spam. Usually, it's just editors who see my work that way...

To avoid this "Spamification" please add art@arthurslade.com to your trusted list of senders, contacts or your address book. This is called "Whitelisting."

If you do not see an email from art@arthurslade.com in your inbox, my email may have mistakenly been sent to your spam folder.

Please open your spam folder and if you find an email from art@arthurslade.com open it and mark it as "Not spam"...

NOW TO REALLY TAME THE DRAGON: scroll down to the provider or software you use and see how to make sure you get the the email you asked for from art@arthurslade.com
