Steve Hayes - Links and contact information

This page has contact information and web page links for Steve Hayes of Tshwane, South Africa. You probably reached it through a link in a signature on an e-mail message or newsgroup article.

I maintain various web sites and pages on different topics, mainly because I would like to make contact and exchange ideas with others who are interested in the same or similar topics. So I hope to find people who have similar interests and concerns to mine. This page is a kind of map of the pages, interests and concerns, so you can find your way around.

If you want to report a problem with a web page, or a technical point, you may contact me by E-mail:

But if you want to discuss the content of the web pages, or articles I have written, I would much prefer to do it in open discussion forums rather than by personal e-mail.

 

There is more information on how to contact us by e-mail and snail mail on our contact page. I'm sorry we have to put it in a roundabout way, but we have had to do this to try to reduce the volume of spam and e-mail viruses.

As you can see, I maintain a number of web pages, both personal, and for other organisations and bodies. If you want to write to me about any of them, please specify which ones you are writing about. It is not enough to say "your webpage", because I will have no way of knowing which one you are referring to.

I also write and edit pages for Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia. If you want to contact me about that, you can find our more at my Wikipedia user page. I am mainly concerned with pages on southern African history, Christianity in Africa and Orthodox Christianity.
