Maybe I missed it, but this article said nothing about "the secret to getting a reply from him."

  Write an email of < 30 words. "I've asked the Gmail Meter folks to add a chart showing reply ratio on emails less than 30 words versus emails greater than 100 words. When I get that chart I will publish it here because I think that is single best secret to getting a reply from me."

  Was it supposed to say something about the secret to getting a reply from him?

    If you pull the data together it shows that the best way to get a response is to send a short message early in the morning (during his peek email hours): "the one time I reply to more email than I get is the 5am to 7am time frame." Pretty good place to start if you want to get a response.

    My original submission title was "Fred Wilson's Email Stats (and the secret to getting a response from him)". Looks like a Hacker News moderator edited my title, even though Fred talks about the secret to getting a response from him at the end of his post.
