Do you tend to answer ALL your mail, or only ones from people you consider close friends?

Do you tend to answer ALL your mail, or only ones from people you consider close friends?
I try to answer most of it, but I do not answer every single one, if I foget.:o
I answer them all, except for 1 or 2 that don't need a reply.
I try to answer all of them, for those that need an answer. But for those that don't...I just leave them. :o
Yes, I do answer all of them. Well, I think about 2 in my mailbox right now are unanswered because they don't really need an answer. But I do try to answer most of them, I love getting messages:p
I try to answer most. Sometimes I read them and don't have time to write out the full response I would like and then forget, but I never intentionally ignore someone.
I voted for No, because I answer most of mine, but if you think about it, if you really answered all of ypur PM's they'd just keep going on and on forever:p
if i got PMs from someone i would respond b/c thats what you should do if someone took the time to send u a PM. I voted for YES! if you guys wanted to know.
Yes of course, I think I have answered everyone of them, not that I get that many.
I try to answer them, but somtimes I just forget, or sometimes I respond weeks later. But that's just the way I am, my mom has to send me about 5 emails complaning that I never write her back before I actually do write her back!
I hope so, as I don't get that many! ;)
Yes.
I make it a habit to answer all of my PMs. If I forget, then I feel really bad. I hate hate hate it when I PM someone a question or give them a compliment and they don't PM me back. It tells me alot when they don't care to give a "thank you" for a nice compliment. However, if I see a PM that doesn't need to be answered, like the end of a conversation, then there's no need to answer it and the same thing for people I PM. That doesn't bother me at all. :)
I never get any **boo hoo :( **, but the once in a blue moon ones I do respond to.
Yes, of course, If I know I have them.
(unless they do not require a response.) :)
I answer to all of them as soon as I get them! :)
That's why when Cataholic and I PM each other, it seems to go on.......and on...........and on...............until one of us goes to bed. :o LOL I love getting PM's though and try to answer everyone, unless they don't need an answer, OR if I get waaaaaaaay to many in a day *happens sometimes* that I accidently miss some. :oQuote:

I try to respond to every PM and expect others to do the same when I PM them. Almost everyone responds to my PM's, but when certain people never respond to any PM's I send them, it makes me not want to PM them again. :mad::rolleyes: Thankfully, almost everyone does though! Its just an occasional few. :p
I answer the few I get, if they need answering.
I feel as though if someone has bothered to send me a private message - that is just like getting a nice note in the snail mail.
The polite thing to do is respond. It sure is easier to reply to a private message, or send an email than snail mail.
Besides, private messages are fun.......a way to get to know people a bit better than just through our posts.
Sometimes, I can't respond immediately, but if that is the case, I usually let them know I will reply later when I have more time.
99% of the time, yes. Actually only once I didn't. A new, obviously young poster IMd me before posting any messages. Asked me to be her friend. I was going into a meeting... had thought to respond and suggest posting to the group, that it was a good way to meet people.... then I plumb forgot (is it plumb as in the level, or plum as in the fruit??)....
anyway, thats the only time i didnt. I didn't notice it again for weeks....by then it seemed.... I dunno.
I try to....sometimes it may take me a few days..or weeks...:o It's not a matter of not liking a person though, it's a matter of my forgetful/procrastination disease.
I can't imagne not answering, that is of course unless it doesn't need a reply.
Ditto.Quote:

AHHH, a fellow sufferer. Seems like my personal motto should be "Do not put off 'till tomorrow what you can put off 'till next week"
I do answer all my PM's (unless they are the "end" of a discussion and don't need answered).
Yes, I answer my pms. All of them. And I've never had an unpleasant personal message.
I feel it is an honor when someone takes the time to cyber-speak to me!
I voted yes too. I don't get very many, but occasionally get into some pretty good discussions with folks over the PM. I love that feature! :)
I answer my PM's too, but not always immediately if I'm busy with other things. :)
Catnip doesn't. Shes evil, no one listen to her!!! lol ;)
I will answer all my PM's..unless its a reply back that doesn't require another responce...like someone returning a PM saying 'lol' hm
I think I answer them all unless they don't really need an answer. I love getting PM's but I sometimes tend to worry if they will be nasty or nice. ;)
If I haven't written back, I'm sorry! :o lol I believe I carry the same procrastination disease as Amy. :p
Cataholic, I am sure Zippy did not mean to insult you, she is going through a lot just now, her emotions will be running high, so she may have been a tad sensitive to the remarks you made, and mistakenly thought they were directed at her.
*edited*
Zippy got some PM's regarding the loss of her College Room-mate :( -
and just wasn't ready to reply to them...
/s/ Phred
========================================
I guess that's all that needs to be said
by/from me...
And I'll finish up with ~
{{{HUGGS}}} to Zipp!
Johanna, I agree with Carole. Zippy already had a lot on her plate before she lost her two dear long-time friends.
I think right now I would forgive her just about anything. And knowing Zip, it is not her way to insult you. We need to extend a bit of tenderness for now.
I know you like a good "challenge":D :D - but this might not be the one you are after.
And no offense intended............
Cataholic, try not to take it too much to heart, and if you feel you need a break from PT, just make sure it is only a short one ok, as I for one will miss your contribution.
We all have had our feelings hurt sometime for sure on PT, unfortunately mis-understandings happen because we cannot see each other face to face, the down side of internet communication.
We are all human after all.
Zippy-kat, just needs lots of love and hugs from us all right now, and I know you are a very caring individual, so all will be well.
I have deleted my earlier posts, and privately apologized to Zippy for so misunderstanding her post. I have explained to Zippy how thougtless it was of me to be so disparaging to her at this time. I hope she forgives me. :( :o
Tonya, my thought would be that anyone who sent you a private note of sympathy would not expect a response from you at all. People just care and they want to let you know that they are thinking of you.
I'm one of them, one who is so saddened by the sorrow that has struck you and your family in recent days. :(
I swear, this is why I just love this place. We have had some real pains on this board.........but then there are those who just make it a very human and special place - for our pets and for each other!!Quote:

and yes, Johanna, this ONE is directed at you!:D
I don't know what to say other than I am sorry about the horrible things that have happened in your life, Zippy, and that I helped contribute by being nasty towards you.
:(
:)
Seemz like tyme fur a *BIG* *HUGE* *GROUP*
{{{HUGGIE}}} !! :D
;)
OOOOWWWWWW better make it for AFTER Zippy's term paper is due!!! Don't want her to miss out on it!
