This means you must start your mail client and type in the email address. A varying "ransom note" style of font is used to make it more difficult for the image to be parsed by anything other than a person. The email address being used in the image is one that has never been advertised except in the image. It is to be used for feedback related to this web site (comments, suggestions, information, etc.).
