New E-mail Address for the Show

Since yahoo has pissed me off since the beginning with its lack of security, poor spam filter and general ineptitude of its servers, I've switched the show's e-mail address to gmail. The new e-mail address is now themessagewras@gmail.com.

Everything before the @ is still the same; the only thing that's changed is the e-mail provider. The yahoo e-mail account is still open, so if you send mail there, I'll still get it and read it, but I much prefer that you send things to the gmail account.

That is all.
