This might be the best email autoreply ever:
***** is experiencing spectacular email backlog, on the edge of
declaring email bankruptcy, but that probably won’t stop him getting
back to you. if it’s about giving a talk, the answer’s probably no
these days as i’ve got a day job, and 8,734 other mischievous projects
on the go, so unless it’s free admission and open to all comers, and
even then, sorry, probably no. if you’ve sent a story, thanks! if it’s
about anything else, in particular if i owe you something and the
deadline is passing, i definitely know, and am glad of the prod.
