If you send an e-mail
and there's no answer
and you send another e-mail
and there's still no answer

did your e-mails make a sound?

ack! i hit Post Comment inadvertently!

i was going to say: i'm not saying at all that either she or i was right or wrong in the above little story. just that some people -- especially certain clueless males -- can be hard to draw out, and sometimes can even miss things that are staring them straight in the face.

so, again, this story may or may not be at all relevant to what you're going through. in any case, i'm sorry that this person is not replying to you on something that's evidently important to you.

Hm. I think you and I may indeed be talking about communication on vastly different levels. I didn't post this because it's a Huge Deal. The biggest deal here, I think, is that I'm perceiving the lack of response as rude. A simple acknowledgment would have been fine.

But even that's not why I posted. I just posted because sometimes you muse, and you post in the blog. It's short and musing, and I didn't expect it to be taken so seriously.

Thanks for the story, though.

> I think you and I may indeed be talking about communication on vastly different levels

it wouldn't be the first time!

i'm glad that this situation is not a huge deal.

i might have been jumping to conclusions about what this unresponded-to email was about

Well, musing aside...

I try to answer email. I try really hard.

Sometimes there is too much or I'm too busy and I put it off and then forget someone. This is a bad quality of mine, alas.
