OMG... same thing just happend to me! A month or so ago, my cat rescue got an urgent SOS from a local dog rescue. Apparently a Greyhound racetrack a few hours from here was closing down and they had to find either permanent or foster homes for 70+ Greyhounds immediately or they'd die. Well, my brother and his wife adopted two rescued Greyhounds and sing hte praises of Grayhound rescue so I sent him the email and said "Perhaps you might like help"... and I said some other stuff making friendly conversation.

Time went by and he never responded to the email so I figured he wasn't interested. I was talking to mom last week and she told me how excited he is to be hooking up with a Greyhound rescue that needed to find immediate homes for 70+ dogs... hmmm... sounds familiar, doesn't it? I was sooo insulted that he was really excited and into something because *I* had sent along the info and yet he never acknowledged or thanked me for the info.

All he had to do was hit "reply" and say "Cool! I was looking to get involved somehow!" or "thanks, I think I might be interested!" he didn't have to tell me that it sounded great and that this would become his next mission in life. I also hardly ever email him - maybe three times a year. So you know what I send him has to be something special.
