Just a little related personal story to show that our emails can be tampered with:

In about March 2022, when I first heard about Mark Brzezinski being appointed ambassador to Poland, I emailed Adam Curry about it right away. I never heard back from him nor heard it mentioned in the show. I had previously emailed back and forth with him several times before, so that wasn't the problem.

Point is, "They" will snip these connections when they feel they need to and without drawing too much attention.

EDIT: When Adam mentioned this on the last show, he said, "How could we have missed this? Is this something we knew about before?" John said, "Yes, I think so." That was not correct. After I (failed to) email Adam, I listened very carefully to see how long--if ever--it would take them to catch up to this.
