I send out many emails, when have something to say, mainly to family & friends. However, most of them do not even send an acknowledgement to say they'd received one. I find that emails are basically not too personal, & most folks tend to just quickly read them...& then delete them with no answer. It's rather frustrating. I go through my emails every day, & if my family member requests some kind of answer, I do it. But it's like sending messages out into the ether...as rarely do I get one in return.
Sooo...not really sure IF they are actually getting through, but feel that most correspondents are lax in answering. Thanks.
