Do you think that people really want you to make contact?
So many people want to make contact but very few seem to bother. Is there any point in giving E mail addresses if most don't bother to reply. I have had questions that I have wanted to get more information on but people who have given permission to contact them haven't replied. I know this is not a chat room but some answers need a follow up.
PAD-D.
I would say that at least 99% are total strangers so I don't understand you logic?
Something strange is going on as I have E mailed both you texasirishrose and you Roxy?
I have E mailed you again.
I think I have found the reason that E mails are not getting through. Some of you have Spam filters and are not checking your spam. If the e mail address of the sender is not in your address book as a contact then it automatically goes to Spam. Please check before deleting.

I've recently had people email me about questions I never responded to so I'm thinking the yahoo wires are crossed somewhere.
A lot of times people give short answers only because it's a question for usually just 2 points so there is no need for anyone to follow up, really. I think if there is a question like what is the name of that product you mentioned, that would be the only reason to follow up. Otherwise an email is to contact a person to be a friend.

Well, you're in my contacts but I'm not sure who you are. Did you change your user name or did I somehow find an addition I don't recall accepting? It's no big deal. I get email alerts when my contacts ask a question. I usually read the question in my email then respond if I have an answer.
I didn't even know I had access to email accounts f/ those that are contacts. I always established this through the YA "respond to this message" where we exchanged the addresses.

If you think your really gonna find sincerity without deception here on
the internet, think again, look at what people do to each other in the
real world where they can see each other, what won't they do on here?

are genuine down to earth people wanting to have interesting and
intelligent conversation " my responce? have you tried
E-Harmony,com ? LMAO . . .

Ya know, most people don't really interest me that much enough to respond. But I like to leave the door open to that one-in-a-million that would just really turn into an important person in my life. Sorry if that confuses you.

I just answered you a couple hours ago. That was the first one I have gotten. I would rather do personal emails, which I sent, or messenger than the email through answers.

I have had this happen and learned later on the e-mail didn't go through!! I don't get violation notices in my mail box any more either!! I won't take the trouble to have them re-enstated because they'll get me on another so what the heck!!! If you make yourself a contact they can read your answers and question you better ask yourself if you want them in your business they way reporting goes on!!

It,s my humble opinion that lots of contacts do "not" wish to do so. This is just an easy method, to seek out the members who's questions or answers interest or amuse them in safety my friend.

i think if you have the email address which is hidden on here and you send a message poeple will answer generally, i have given my home email address to folk whom i have been in contact with for a while, if you want to speak to me, i will answer, i generally like to expand on questions asked, which is why i ask them.

My e mail is always open but if I hear from a flake I may choose to ignore it. What did you send?
