NBA Insider with Ken Berger

I get a lot of emails to the Newsday address that is listed at the end of my columns and in my byline in news stories that appear in the paper and online.

I try to read my Newsday email as little as possible, because more often than not, this is what I find there:

1) Spam. Tons and tons of spam.
2) Invitations to join the staff for cake or pizza in the newsroom, which is an hour away from my office.
3) Memos explaining Tribune Co.'s long-term plan for conquering the media business. Such plans are quite impressive, but are largely irrelevant to me because I'm about to become an employee of the greatest, most magnificent owner in all of the sports and media world ... James Dolan.

Soooooo ... this is a round-a-bout way of extending an invitation to my readers, a lot of whom email me with perfectly salient and excellent points, even when they disagree with me. You can get your points across much faster if you post them in my blog. You can read my responses much faster -- without having to waste valuable time that could otherwise be spent playing miniature golf games in an Orbitz popup window -- by subscribing to my blog's RSS feed. For the technologically challenged, that means you'll get automatic updates in a live bookmark every time I post something.

So here is the link to my blog's main page. Here is where you go to subscribe to the feed. Post your thoughts, complaints, and questions in the blog, as opposed to emailing me. Also, look for live chats I've started doing in the blog. The schedule is published in the paper and also announced online. Either way, you will get a response faster and I won't have to read emails with subject lines like this:

"SPECIAL REPORT: Spying Chinese temptress steals senior Brit's BlackBerry (analysis)"

Or this:

"Cake now!"

Please, help a hungry, hard-working NBA columnist out, will ya?
