Dear Friends and Family: I love you and miss you and want to hear from you. But you’ve got to stop spamming me.

Please quit sending me long, unsolicited, multipart texts and Skype video requests during work hours. Facebook messages I won’t see for weeks. And those phone calls where you hang up without leaving a message.

And please, I beg you, stop calling my cell, home and office phones, sending me texts and emailing all of my accounts — all within the space of two minutes.

About Voices

Along with original content and posts from across the Dow Jones network, this section of AllThingsD includes Must-Reads From Other Web Sites — pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Six posts from external sites are included here each weekday, but we only run the headlines. We link to the original sites for the rest. These posts are explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that the content comes from other Web sites, and for clarity’s sake, all outside posts run against a pink background.

We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions.
