I’ve sent an email your way. Given that email has become a slightly unreliable medium, thanks to the arms race between Spam and Bayesian (and other) countermeasures, I’d appreciate an acknowledge (even if just to say “got it”), here or via email.
Thanks for the heads up. Oddly enough, it was sitting in the spam filter on my SIAI account (without making it through forwarding to my gmail account, where I was checking the spam filter). Yours was the only message caught in the SIAI spam filter, out of 19 who emailed so far in response to this post.
Did you have special reason to expect to be caught in a spam filter?
It happens every so often to email people send me, so I periodically check the spam folder on Gmail; by symmetry I assume it happens to email I send. It’s more likely to occur on a first contact, too. And last, I spent a fair bit of time composing that email, getting over the diffidence you’re accurately assuming.

your handle sounds like a brand name drug ;) e.g. paxil
I wonder how long I can expect to wait before receiving a response. I sent my email on Wednesday, by the way.
So you want to know f(x) := P(will receive a response|have not received a response in x days) for values of x from 0 to say, 7?
I’m sorry; I still haven’t responded to many of them. Somewhere in the 1-3 days range for an initial response, probably.
I suggest you reply to the parent (Anna’s) comment, that will show up in her inbox.
