When E-mailing Me:
- Do not send me chain letters - this includes any kind of e-mail that I'm supposed to forward to other people, no matter what it is. I'll just deal with them all now: I'm not going to fill out some long pointless sheet of questions about myself, I don't consider friendship something you prove by forwarding a chain letter, your wish isn't going to come true if you pass this letter on to twenty people, if they really had access to your credit card information they wouldn't spare you just if you passed on a chain letter, Bloody Mary is not going to kill you at midnight tonight if you don't pass it on, not passing it on does not mean seven years of bad luck, no chain letter miracle story is ever going to convert me to Christianity, I won't drink and drive, I highly doubt a company would donate money to a girl with cancer depending on how many signatures some e-mail chain letter gets, and almost all ZOMGTHEMOSTHORRIBLEVIRUSEVER e-mails are hoaxes. Basically, don't send me any of that stuff. If you do, consider your time wasted because either I'll completely ignore it or send you an annoyed warning about never sending me chain letters again.
- Do not send me invitations to join any kind of social networking site, online game or whatever, either, especially not if I don't have the faintest clue who you are. I invariably ignore such invitations. If you know me well and really think I'd love said site (and I can tell you right away that I'm not going to love any sort of social networking site whose only point is being on it and adding a few hundred people you've never talked to as "friends"), tell me that in person and describe what it's about yourself instead of using those invitation systems.
- Read the FAQ carefully and see if what you're going to say is answered there - remember to read it no matter what you were going to say, because there is always a chance it's in there.
- Make the subject clear; mention Pokémon, the site or something in it so that I will know it's not spam. "Hi" is the worst subject you can possibly have.
- If you sent a question or something and I haven't responded within 48 hours, it should be safe to e-mail me again - I probably just need a kick. Unless, of course, I'm on vacation somewhere or something.
- You can send me questions about Pokémon or the website, even just about myself as long as it isn't too personal, whatever, anything that's not answered in the FAQ. I'm not too busy to answer your Pokémon-related questions, so ask away. (Just keep in mind that my knowledge is mainly limited to the games and general stuff - I don't know much about the animé or card game.)
- If I seem to be snapping at you, I'm just in a bad mood and taking it out on you. I don't hate you; I honestly don't hate anyone in particular and haven't for years.

When IMing Me:
- Make sure you have something of worth to say - I don't like being bombarded by windows when I sign on, so unless you're my friend, please don't just randomly say hi without anything special to talk about.
- Again, the FAQ should be read first.
- If you don't have a very good reason to assume I know who you are (and "a very good reason" is as in "you are somebody I have talked to on numerous occasions under the same name you are now using as your MSN name", not "your MSN name is just some random quote you like but you figure I probably remember the e-mail addresses of everybody who has ever IMed me"), you should introduce yourself at the start of the conversation. It seems rude to start a conversation by asking "Uh, who the heck are you?", so I generally don't. I've had entire conversations with people without having any idea who the hell I'm talking to. So please.
- Please, please, PLEASE, if I'm not responding, don't write a huge monologue of "Why are you ignoring me???" and "You never respond!!" Just draw the logical conclusion that I'm probably not at the computer. This applies especially if my status is set to "Away" or "Busy", but I never remember to change my status so even if I'm showing up as online, don't count on it. I really don't like waking up with five hundred IM windows from people complaining about how ebil I am for never responding to all the stuff they said to me in the middle of the night, and who have now signed off so I can't correct them.
MSN messenger: antialiasis@hotmail.com [Do not ever attempt to send me e-mail at this address! I've never viewed my Hotmail inbox in my life and made the account only for the messenger. Use the Gmail one for e-mail!]
I'm also registered and visit more or less every day (don't count on it, though) at the following places, where I can be contacted through whatever means of private messaging exist there:
- My forums (Butterfree)
- Serebii.net forums (Dragonfree)
- The Pokémon Community (Dragonfree)
- The PokéMasters forums (Dragonfree)
- Pokémon Fan Universe (Dragonfree)
