Since I cannot add posts to http://typophile.com/node/6268 :

I would like to provide an update: Nick Shinn has elected to
be the first person to take up my offer*. He has also taken
up my offer of not instant-messaging him, for which all any-
body ever has to do is ask**. Please, people, don't be shy:
freely join the "Hrant filter", at any level. I promise not
send my boys to break your shins... Also: this does not mean
that such a person should not in turn communicate with me.
I'm open, 24-7, all channels.

* See Nick's last post here:

** I wish "you cannot not communicate" were always true...

The main reason for this is that I love Typophile, and I
think this helps Typophile. An even more selfish reason
however is simply that I would enjoy Typophile more when
people are not complaining about something that I see as
totally natural and needed.

As you were.
