Tips

I've answered at least five hundred questions, with more than eighty of the Q & A published online, so far.

I can't answer all questions. A simple question is more likely to get a quick response. A complicated question that requires me to make illustrations or do research may not get answered - unless you pay me, of course.

Impolite emails will be ignored! Examples of questions I don't answer
