I generally check my e-mail and messengers about two or three times a week, if not more, and usually in the evening. I try to be friendly unless someone gives me a reason not to be. If you have any questions, comments, or just want to chat, I'm listening. In all honesty, I'm not very good at starting conversations so talking about common interests (see my About page), introducing yourself, and/or asking me questions are good places to start.
