Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I am amazed at how many first-original emails/calls to/from friends/acquaintances go without reply - where the sender is just left hanging.
I'm not talking about endlessly answering strings of emails, they have to end eventually, just that first message. And I am not talking about solicitations from people I don't know. From people I know who I have something in common with.
If someone has bothered to email/call me, the very least I can do is reply. If it's just info the sender thinks I might be interested in, a simple thank you is plenty. If the sender has asked a legit question(s), I should at least answer however briefly. I completed a project that took about 30 hours, sent it to the other participants about a week ago, and I've heard from two of them, five sent nothing...
[And this has nothing to do with ER.org, people here are generally very courteous and thoughtful.]
