The only rule of metas is that there are no rules.

Everyone! Check your “junk” folder.
That email from Mike Miller is sitting somewhere.

I thought the rule was we don't talk about metas!
I don't have anything clever to say, but if I did, it would go here.

Unless he’s also selling some kind of blue pills in the same email, it’s not me.

Same here. My day's correspondence is all about burial plots, debt consolidation and unsolicited gift cards ... not to mention a breathy come-on from "Ava," who apparently is dying to show me photos.

Thanks for the tip, EVJ. I would have missed out on this one: Avoid constipation - This "pooping trick" helps people slim down fast after 40.
That could be even more important than winning a mug. Oh, nothing from Ava, but I have a date offer from Rhonda.

I have date offers from Lauren and Paola and Kristen and Esmerelda--but no Liams or Eriks or whatever! As well as numerous warnings about people logging into my apple and microsoft and facebook. And undelivered packages. No little pills though.

I had all that sort of stuff, several emails with the name, though not the correct address, of a friend encouraging me to open a link, and curiously, this week’s Fireball crossword.
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

There might be a good explanation...

If I don't win a mug, I can always make one... ;) but it won't have the same cachet.

I wish I could blame bad penmanship and snag the mug ... but I'm sure I typed Tom and can't claim otherwise.

Jim Wilson is almost an anagram of my name. Oh wait. No it isn’t.

Funny how for this puzzle the winner has no location! I’ll guess he’s from….Montana?
