Good Emails

Sorry for the long disclosure, but INeedCoffee would rather focus on creating new content than fielding emails from people that provide no value to our readers. So, if you are in the Good Email group, we can be reached at:
If you do not receive a response in a few days, don’t send a follow-up email. INeedCoffee practices #InboxZero. No response means your message was deleted.
