Social Networking Policy

This is one of those posts that I'll just link to for eternity, and probably only amend very slightly as necessary. It's always been clear in my head, but I doubt it's as clear outside that space.

Anyone can read this blog. Anyone can comment on this blog, once they jump through the minor word-verification hoop. I've only deleted spam comments so far, and I intend to only delete spam comments -- that's not an invitation to test my limits, though. There are no in-group-only posts here, and there never will be.

On Twitter, I don't auto-follow people, but I do check out those who follow me, and have followed some. I don't keep up on Twitter nor tweet as much as I think I should, so it's very likely I haven't seen anything specific that "everyone knows about."

After some waffling about, I'll accept any friends on Facebook. I haven't yet deleted anyone there, but the day may come. I also spend very little time directly on Facebook; it's mostly a port of this blog and the Twitter feed.

On LinkedIn, I only connect with people that I have a professional connection to. If I don't already know you, I won't connect to you. If we've worked together and I might not remember you, please feel free to ask to connect and remind me of who you are. Authors do count as people I've worked with, as long as we've been connected through a particular book at some point.

My e-mail is relatively public, and anyone can e-mail me. I may not always respond -- quickly or ever -- though.

I'm not active anywhere else; there are plenty of other Andrew Wheelers in this world (and at least one other Hornswoggler), but they're not me.
