IM Caveat:

Nothing personal, but I get a lot of random chatters. A LOT. If I’m feeling especially friendly, I’ll chat with you. If I’m busy or don’t want to talk to a random, I’ll send you a standard disclaimer:

Automated message: If you are talking to me because you wish to practice English, or just want a random person to chat to, it’s nothing personal, but sorry, I already have too many friends like that, and not enough time. If you really do want to talk to me, read my IM Caveat at /about/contact-me/#caveat

For what it’s worth, I have a quick key for sending this.

If you want to talk to me:

  • Email me first. Make your enquiry, say what you need to say, and if you have a question, tell me your IM details. If I think IMing you would be better than emailing you, I’ll make first contact.
  • Make your first message meaningful. Messages like “hi” or “hello” will be disclaimer’d.
  • Introduce yourself first. It’s kinda like you’ve come over to me at a party, I’m probably busy talking to someone else.
  • If you have a question, ask it. Don’t ask “can I ask you a question?”, because that’s just stupid; if it’s a short question, just ask it. If it’s a tough question, ask “Do you have a moment?”
  • Please try to use good english spelling, grammar and punctuation. That said, if English isn’t your first language, do your best.
  • Txtspeak or IMspeak (e.g.: “how r u?” etc.) will make me want to punch you, unless you’re a good friend and we’re having a laugh. Standard acronyms and emoticons are fine, but not to excess.

Follow the above, and you’ll drastically improve your chances of me talking to you.
