Before you send e-mail...

Unfortunately, due to the volume of unsolicited direct-marketing e-mail messages received here, we're forced to include this special warning page before you can actually send e-mail to someone at Nevis.

To put it simply: If you just want to talk, fine. If you want to sell something, go away.

After you've read this warning and if you're willing to abide by its terms, go ahead and send e-mail to <tulikanevis.columbia.edu> of <>

There used to be a mailto: link on this page. There isn't anymore. The aggressive nature of spammer robots, which search the web for potential addresses to which to send illegal unsolicited commercial electronic mail, forces us to give you the address in text form. You will have to type the above text <delimited by angle brackets> manually into your e-mail program, replacing "of" with @.

Here's the legalese, in case the quick summary above left any doubts in your mind:
