No, you don't have to become Linked In or some other form

of social media. But you could be better.

Why can't I send messages to people who want my articles?

I wish you would let me. I'll publish my email address and urge them

to write to me ([email protected])

I often want to give them access to a copy of an article I've written, but I can't do it

because I don't have the full text myself and I don't have access to it either. But

I could tell them that if only I could be in contact.

I've found this a BIG frustration in ResearchGate.

You can write me any time with suggestions: you have my email address.

You can call me or text me, too: (240) 423-6651

At first, I just deleted your message to me, but then decided, no, let me give them

one more try.
