Hey, I just thought I'd E-mail David asking if I could help Translate Ozy and Millie into French for him... But he never responded... Strange, no? This was a long time ago, I think he blocked my address or something... Anyway I'm just wondering if he has blocked anyone elses addresses. I'd also like to ask him a question... Or rather point something out to him about his strip...<br><br><br><br> Peace<br> Saikik

Hey, come on. The guy gets probably several dozen e-mails a day, will have to write a thesis, is teaching and grading a class, while taking classes. He's got a lot on his plates. Wait a little longer, and then try again. Now, if you spam him to death, yeah, he'll block you, but overall, if you take the time to read his rants, he just doesn't always get around to replying immediatly. Patience is the key.

Yeah. He didn't respond to my first email (which wasn't about this site, but it was still a question). Wait a little and re-email. Don't flood him with your email though.

No, actually, I asked him this question over a half a year ago and he never got back to me... He also replys to other e-mailers within a month... I have no idea what to do... All that I have to say is that no matter what he says or does, be it blocking my address or displaying obscene political opinions, I will always read his comic...

You should offer to but an origonal. He'll listen to you then.

What's an origonal? <!--emo&:blink:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /blink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='blink.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br><br>Oh, and IMO all caps suggests spam, so skip it. I'd suggest having the words "Ozy & Millie" being obvious in the email title though.

For $100 you can purchase an original strip from David Craig Simpson. Assuming the one you want hasn't been sold yet.

Well... If he isn't responding to my E-mails then how can I buy an origonal? Ah, well... I'll try, and by the way, I have e-mailed him a third time... I just have kept the e-mails few and far between. So like I said, I'll try to buy an origonal... **SIGH** ...It's back to the warroom

He hasn't gotten back to me either, so I'll try a different email provider...

I'd like to emphasize that I have never blocked anyone's e-mail, that I can remember. I'm also quite keen on the idea of a French translation. But keep in mind I'm also making my way through graduate school at the moment and have very little free time.<br><br>Potential translators should e-mail support@ozyandmillie.net. I want to emphasize that I am not the person checking that address--and that's a good thing. Andrew Pam, the site's main administrator, is responsible for that address, and is far less of a flake than I.<br><br>As for people wanting to buy originals...now would be an excellent time to e-mail me about that. :>
