There are several issues here with respect to sending mail. First, I do not send form letters. However, I also no longer "write a book" as some have called my notes over the years. Why? Simple. It is often a waste of time due to several things already mentioned. If someone has 300 messages in their inbox, will they even read mine? Will I be shunted off to a bulk mail folder? I have no problem with someone putting in their profile their bulk mail settings, but it appears that as it is not a collarme requirement, it does not happen all that often.
I have posted journal entries every so often about courtesy. It has no real effect on many people, but at the same time, does it matter? If someone is going to be discourteous, do you really want to deal with them in the first place? An example is someone you have corresponded with a few times who then just never replies again. At times I have sent a subsequent note to see if they got my last one.... but that has made no real sense.
And what about this one.... I read a profile of someone I thought I would be very compatible with, and somewhat local, say within 150 miles. I spent a bit of time on a note and attempted to send it, only to find that I was blocked. Blocked? Someone has blocked someone that has never written to them in the first place? Amazing.
In summary though, I have adjusted my expectations, unfortunately downward in terms of what I might get back upon sending someone a note.
Life goes on. Enjoy it.
