Please don’t ask me to give interviews, sign books, appear on podcasts, attend conferences or conventions, or provide feedback or endorsements for works of fiction, scientific theories, or slabs of text disgorged by chatbots.
I have no idea how to decipher this obfuscation.
What's difficult about it? You know the domain, gregegan.net. You know the @ symbol, presumably. Then put literally any valid text before the @.

replyA friend gave out an email gmail@hisname.com (he owns the domain). He says it's incredible how many people "corrected" him, and how persistent some of them were. :-)
