Hard to respond?
Hello Craig2374! We'll see how long it takes to get a reply. LOL
All joking aside, I totally agree with you Craig. I make it a rule to reply to all comments and messages that people send me. It's just common courtesy, people wouldn't just ignore others if they were face to face.
Is it so hard for people to say a simple hello in response...thank god I don't pay for service on this site.
That's ok if you don't pay to use and complain about this site.
I can afford to carry people like you.
AND God has nothing to do with it.
A prompt "Thank you" for a message received , establishes one's upbringing and etiquette. Beyond the "thank you", one might indicate if one wants to continue or dispense with the communication. I'm amazed at the lack of courtesy shown by people who send friend requests and say nothing more once that is acceded to! I'd imagine these people are only curious to know about the other person , would like to indulge in seeing "friends" pictures or simply boast of having a long list of friends to their credit , maybe to get into the Guinness Book of Records!:) I've gently reminded such friends about the lack of communication , before "unfriending" them and now do not accede to friend requests anymore before sending the person a message informing them of what I expect from a friendship and awaiting their response. One of these friendship seekers, whom I'm sorry to say is from my own country, and I firmly believe gauges his popularity from the number of friends he has to show on his list,actually got abusive and hot under the collar when I did point out to him his lapse in communicating and my intention of no longer being on his list. It was good riddance to bad rubbish!
I do agree we all have our priorities and we may not want to just send off a hurried , cursory reply. But it's better late than never as long as it is sincere. Time lapses are pardonable and sometimes procrastination lets things slip out of ones mind completely. A gracious reminder or inquiry as to why one hasn't heard from the other should clear things up.
Good luck and my best wishes to all those who, like me, believe in the art and power of communication.
