About Letters to Dave

I occasionally get email from people who are facing questions interesting questions, and I usually try to take the time to provide my thoughts on the matter.

With permission of the writers, I’ve decided to post some of the exchanges here, as I think they might be interesting other people. Also, we’re open to comments…I don’t pretend to have all the answers by any means, and perhaps there are others out there with a different perspective or a solution. Feel free to join in.

My general policy is:

  • I’ll assume that names and places should be withheld by default. The correspondent can email me privately or leave a comment to back-fill information.

  • My replies do not establish or imply any liability, association, or contract between myself and the correspondent. I’ll try to be helpful, though.

  • There’s no guarantee that I’ll post any given letter by any particular time, if ever :)

If you’d like to ask me a question or just shoot the breeze informally, head over to my contact page and send me an email. Ask me anything.

If you are seeking a longer-term exchange, consider my “sounding board service”, as described on my working page.
