I GOT AN EMAIL earlier from another blogger who wanted to know if I was mad for some reason. Nope — I just missed some earlier emails in the overwhelming flood and thus didn’t reply.

Sorry but I’ve actually been busier than usual this semester with my actual job, and email traffic, which was barely manageable in December, is now out of control. And there was a war, too. I’m sorry, but though I do the best I can my best just isn’t good enough when it comes to the massive volume of mail I get.

Heck, Daniel Drezner is already complaining about the volume of email he’s getting. It only gets worse, Dan.
