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?

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.

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.
