My Dear David,
Please, calm your heart. Keep rational and sane. Hope you are feeling better now, after sending your last message.
All the HOPE 2020 Staff are pretty busy now. I know Mitch in person and, believe me, in this moment, he is more worried about making HOPE being an amazing experience to anyone than about verifying his email's inbox.
He is an awesome person and I do love him very, very much. He teached me how to solder correctly (I was a disaster!), how to meditate, how to talk Spanish with a pretty sexy accent, how to dye my hair (blue and violet now!), and how to be a good hacker: - he is curious, pure at heart, loyal to friends, always trying to share his knowledge sincerely... <3
So, please, it was not a lack of respect. It was certainly an usual lack of time.
Darling, I am deeply sorry, but "FUCKIN LET ME TALK !" are not the magic words for make part of HOPE 2020. It was pretty impolite and unpleasant. Respect other people, please.
You mentioned "suicide". Pretty impressive, but it is _not_ a magic word too, sorry.
Are you Brazilian, David? Maybe your parents? Well, I am Brazilian and live in Sao Paulo. You can talk to me in _private_ in _Portuguese_, but I strongly recommend to search for _professional help_ as faster as possible, please. Believe me, suicide is not a good idea.
If you want to talk, simply talk. Why talking specially now, in this specific event, about your personal experiences only, will change the world?
Please, be well and take care of yourself with tenderness. Keep calm, keep healthy, keep sane. <3

( I'v found my error : I replied to Mitch instead of the list.
Here it goes. (aggressive style on purpose, but I'm a quite guy "normally")
Thanks for the answers from the list, Mitch didn't answer which, again,
is for me a lack of respect but "quite understandable" of course.
If you let me talk I won't disapoint anyone.

Are you even real ?
Not following anyone on twitter is useless. You just miss half of
functionnalities.
Ok so it's super cool. xD
I DREAM of this Pensilvania hotel sometimes.
Why ?
Because I'm poor and proud of it. Never went there to your famous "scene".
But I'v been a 2600 real supporter since I bought it and read a lot, and
re-read it.
Let me be clear, you have a brother talking sincerly to you.
So just to go fast,
I'd like to organize a talk right now or within 72 hours,
about my experiences at the TETALAB ("give me back my 2600s and my Atari
!" would be the title).
:o
Hope you'r ready for critics.

relaxing.
FUCKIN LET ME TALK !
