Contacting Us

Waldings just love to get mail! Unfortunately, we're having a lot of trouble lately with the Spamming clan, who are so rude they send us mail even when we've told them (repeatedly) that we don't want it. We get about 100 messages from them every hour, most of them addressed to people who don't even live here. So if you need to write to any of us, please use our names and just add @esmerel.com. Spammings are too dumb to figure that out!

We're also getting so much mail that some of the Waldings will be changing their names to avoid it. Stewart has also decided to sort all mail into three piles. People he knows go into the first pile. People who know the secret priority code (it's "fox") go into the second pile. We read those piles quickly. All the other mail goes into a big pile that someone may look through from time to time.
