As the editor-in-chief of Ask a Korean!, the Korean reserves the right to do whatever the hell he damn well pleases with this blog. But by and large, the Korean will follow this policy:
Once the Korean receives your email, he will decide whether it should be answered privately in a reply email, or publicly through a blog post. The Korean tries to answer private emails within a week.
For emails that deserve a post, the Korean answers them in the order received. Thanks to all of your questions and support, the delay is very long -- at least several months, possibly over a year.
The Korean accepts questions ONLY through email. Any question asked on the message boards will be ignored. This will ensure that the questions are answered in the order received.
If your question is particularly time-sensitive, let the Korean know and he will consider bumping the email up the line. The Korean may also answer questions that he finds particularly compelling ahead of their turns.
Please remember the following points when asking the Korean:
1. You are writing an email with a question to a blog that publicly gives answers. You never know which one the Korean would answer publicly. Although the Korean will not reveal any personal information, please write with caution.
2. Please check your spelling, punctuation, and grammar. Bad English really annoys the Korean, and he will frequently ignore poorly written questions. Exceptions are made for those who do not use English as the first language.
3. Search the blog before asking. The Korean so far answered thousands of questions, and hundreds of them are on this blog. There is a good chance that someone asked your question previously.
4. Your answer will only be as good as your question. If you don't want a broad, generic answer, don't ask a broad, generic question.
5. Please give your first name or a hilarious pen name. Otherwise, you will be called "Anonymous Coward".
Thank you for the questions!
About Me
the Korean
The Korean is currently living in New York. He was born and raised in Korea until he was 16; then his family moved to Southern California. The Korean went to four years of college in the SF Bay Area before making the cross-continental trip. The Korean is pretty well versed in Korean history, politics, and sociology, which makes him (kinda) qualified to answer your questions. He promises to do his best.

Crap, make sure you get the entire url when copy and pasting, you can't see all of it.
thanks, mate.
Does this mean you will be leaving this publication to join Koreamjournal?
I don't think KoreAm magazine can afford to hire at this point.
