Subject: Too much email - Responding to core projects only

Hey - Forgive the autoresponder, I know they are lame. I'm no longer responding to emails that are not critical to my top 5 projects (see below). This is to reclaim the 20+ hours (=2.5 days) I spend on email each week, away from the things where I make the most difference.

I want you to know in case you are waiting for a response.

These are my top 5 projects. I will respond to critical emails related to these. Non-critical emails about these projects will always be read but I cannot respond:
* Philly Startup Leaders
* Missioneurs
* Gigabit
* Two others

This also means I'm no longer doing coffee and lunch meetings that aren't central to these projects. I'm available in person at events at least 12 times each month. Come say hello at any one of them and I'd love to chat there: http://www.plancast.com/bjennelle

If it's truly urgent, you can reach me here:

It's an imperfect solution and kind of lame. Feel free to send me a note if you have a better idea for handling my email or if you feel especially offended. I promise I'll read it at least. :-P

Take care,
Blake
