If I don't know you and you wish to email me, your email should be in the following format:
Dear Mr. Galidakis,
(email message here)
Kind Regards,
Should your email not be in the above format, it will either bounce back to you (with a message from my internet provider) or will automatically be placed in my Trash bin, depending on my email settings.
I don't read (and don't reply to) emails which are not PLAIN TEXT, don't contain a FULL NAME or are BOTTOM-QUOTED.
Be brief and succinct in your email message. People who talk/write too much for no good reason don't impress me (and I tend to ignore them).
Don't waste your time emailing me links to commercial or personal web sites in hopes that they will interest me. I know perfectly well what interests me and I also know full well how to find it.
Feel free however to try to correct me on any of the scientific subjects of my web site, by referencing some external web site or other source, if you find a debatable error or mistake. You never know, your name might end up in some credit section.
Also feel free to email me corrections to copyright claims, such as for pictures under which the words 'Source Unknown' appear.
Don't try to argue with me by emailing me your (presumably different) opinion(s) about various non-scientific parts of my web site. Your (different) opinion(s) are of no interest to me.
Don't ask me what the Greek quotes on my web pages mean. They are intended only for people who KNOW Greek.
If you want me to link to your web page, first link to mine and email me the page which has the link along with a polite request. I will then consider adding your web page to my Reciprocal Links page. I reserve the right to NOT link to your web page, if I consider it inappropriate for whatever reason.
Spell check your email message before sending it. The quickest way for me to decide to ignore your message is when I see many spelling mistakes.
Unauthorized emails larger than 5 kilobytes or emails with attachments automatically go to my Trash bin, unless I have made prior arrangements with the sender(s) for their reception.
I reserve the right to not reply to cranks, loons, kooks and various other internet weirdos and to publicly ridicule idiots. Be careful what you write to me.
Having read the above instructions, you can now email me at:
For every spam email I get, I kill the entire domain. This means that my spam filter is growing very fast, so if you find that your messages are not getting through, you can try to email me at: , although again this is not guaranteed to reach me, since my yahoo account has a huge spam filter as well.
The addresses above are NOT clickable, to avoid having email address harvesting bots collect them automatically. You have to manually type the address into your email client.
I own all the above email addresses, so if you see spam coming from any of these, you can be sure it's not from me. Chances are a random spammer has harvested them and is using them as fake addresses.
