IMPORTANT! My sta@c64.org E-mail address is currently down and I don't know when it will be up again. If you want to contact me, please, use <kovacs DOT balazs AT educatio DOT hu> instead. This is my E-mail address at my work place so do not distribute it (on web sites, in documentations etc.) because I don't know how well protected it is and I don't want to get spam there!
If you wish to contact me then, please, respect my guidelines on how to do it. If you don't adhere to some of them, you may get no reply at all.
Joe Forster/STA is only my scene nick, my real name is Kovács Balázs. Note that Hungarians, similarly to Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and other Eastern Asian people, have their names in a "reverse" order. If you really don't want to call me Joe then, please, use Balázs (preferred) or Mr. Kovács in your greeting rather than the opposite.
Also, here's an old photo of mine.
Address: My permanent E-mail address is sta@c64.org. This is not a real E-mail address, it is redirected to the one I'm currently using. Don't use or spread any E-mail address of mine other than this, unless I explicitly ask you to. This E-mail address is protected with SpamAssassin; E-mails marked as spam by the filter are deleted automatically!
Language: Please, use English or Hungarian. If you really have to, you may use German, as well, but be warned, I only understand it, I don't speak it.
Format: I'm not using a graphical mailer software under Windows! Send your message as plain text only, I find text in attachment or as rich text in HTML format extremely annoying!
Files: You may send me both attachments or uuencoded files. I can also handle Macintosh BinHex files. Don't send uncompressed files as those will bounce back to you automatically! I prefer ZIP but I can also handle ACE, ARJ, GZIP, LHA, RAR, TAR, ZOO formats. If you wish to send many files to me, then, please, ask me before you do it; I don't like being flooded with large E-mails without having been warned.
Netiquette: Don't spam, don't shout! Even if you're in a hurry, introduce yourself, at the beginning or the end of the body of your E-mail.
