A while back I posted the following on PN -
"Is it just me or is this damn rude?
On Saturday I was browsing the purple site, and saw a lady that I thought looked really nice, so I sent her a polite, literate (ie not textspeak) email asking if she was going to be free on Monday at 1:00.
I checked back on Sunday, to see that she had read the email - I assumed that I would get a reply once she'd checked her arrangements or whatever. No reply, however, was forthcoming, but Monday morning her green "Available Today" light was on, so she was working. She's English, so this is not a language thing, or a girl who can't/doesn't do her own email etc.
I can't help regarding this as really rude - a quick reply wouldn't have taken any time or money - but what does anyone else think, and is this a common occurrence?"
One of the usual uber-fluffies responded with
"Is it me or is this really not worth starting this thread?" and Chloe Kisses had to steam in with "No its not. He should have re e-mailed or tried to contact her by phone"
That was one of the last nails in the coffin of my allegiance to PN.
