I got an e-mail today, the entirety of which was "Hi." This is consistent with the ongoing trend towards shorter and shorter messages. The problem, of course, is that there is little left to remove once you get down to "Hi." I suppose I will now get several messages saying either "h" or "i," after which everything I receive will be completely blank. After that, someone will come up with a way to create negative-character-count e-mails (which, of necessity, will have fewer than zero letters in them), containing less than no information whatsoever. I am convinced this is possible, as so many have already managed it with their profiles. I've actually sent you several negative character count messages. You will not only not see them, they will delete any single character messages that you have in your box. Two of them will delete one "Hi" message. So you may have been getting more "Hi" messages than you thought, only my messages deleted them. This is why people always have problems understanding quantum mechanics.

No name or ID, no subject, no message. I get at least one of these a week now. Very odd. And disconcerting. I get those on Yahoo sometimes -- it always says "No Subject" in the subject line, which is just wrong. It would be like buying a gallon of milk and it says "No Milk" on the bottle. I mean, what's the point? |

Or how about filling out a form with "no name" and n/a on every line.
Then sign it "signature" |

Some guy emailed me saying hi. So I responded with the same. Then he asked how I was and I did the same. Then he told me I was boring and he had been waiting for me to reply with more. Uh, you put little effort into it, you get little effort in return! As I believe education is the cornerstone to something or other that stems from education, I tried sending a few of these people messages that said "You'll have to do better than that." None of them took it well. This guy didn't like being told that if he wants me to reply with more, that he needed to start with a little more effort. He wasn't very nice after that.

They are truly "boring" and they have the nerve to call you "boring." Those are the kind of men who expect you to entertain them. 
He just assumed I'd figure out that I was supposed to tell him my life story, I guess.

Well I'm feeling so lucky that I just might buy a lottery ticket. Someone has been e-mailing me that can hold their own in conversation, spell correctly and Lex, you would be proud of him....he even knows how to punctuate

Are you sure this isn't the ghost of Shakespeare? If you've found someone who can actually communicate above a third-grade level, lock him up in your basement! |

Uh, you put little effort into it, you get little effort in return! did u tell him that u were waiting for him to reply with more? I mean that is so much like a lot of guys they expect us to pick up the responsibility for communication....no...they need to ante up too |

That's when he said I was boring, because he was expecting me to reply with more. Needless to say, that conversation didn't go on much longer. |

It's OK with me. Your local zoning ordinances may vary. |
