The first ones I ever got were way back when I was a newbie and David B and I exchanged a flurry of acrimonious emails on the topics of aliens.
I also got a flurry of email support back when Lynn Bodoni singled me out for punishment and deleted all my posts (dozens and dozens) in the BBQ Pit.
Since then, I’ve traded some emails with 5-6 regulars. I’ve recieved as many as 8 emails in the past week.
P.S. I belive that I’m the unnamed “someone” in Slythe’s post. I challenged his hypocrisy via email once and he reacted poorly, so I decided to stick with calling him out in public instead of private.
Of course you’re chopped liver! On Ry-Krisp with a little swiss cheese. Nibble, nibble. ;).
I certainly did not mean to leave out you delightful missives.
And I wasn’t refering to your nasty little note, C3, though my wife thought it was rather rude to talk about her behind her back. If you thought it wasn’t that bad, go ahead and reprint it here. I erased it the same day I got it.
Chopped Liver?
Are those butchering tools in your blouse or are you just happy to see me?
As for the e-mail thing, I seem to have hit the mother load this weeekend. I’ve been smirking all weekend long. There’s nothing wrong with a flirt and wink now is there?
Tenacious, like a coonhound tracking a poodle in heat.
GuanoLad… <sniff> you mean you could have sent me a picture?
Yeah, I’ve talked to a few people on here and SOMEone <you know who you are> will actually be meeting me in a few days. I’m highly looking forward to it.
pluto: you can use Bigfoot, I think its just www.bigfoot.com and it allows you to bounce that e mail(to it) to your office.If it gets annoying, change it to bounce to another e amil.
I have met a few interesting folks on this board. Some more so than others. I don’t think it’s entirely out of the realm of possibility to fall in love with someone you meet from here, however to base that strictly on a person’s posts would be odd.
I think that if people did email and speak to each other because of a post that the chances are as likely as if they had met in person.
slythe, Jazzmine-
I am with you there! I also wonder why ICQ isn’t used more often on here. I for one am always happy to exchange messages with anyone!
Actually for me, I don’t always prefer ICQ. Depends upon how busy I am, etc. The problem I have is sometimes it seems that conversations go on about a week or two with someone, then if they fade away, there I have them on my ICQ. I always like to start out in email and then go from there.
I don’t have ICQ, mainly because I don’t know many people who do. However, I’m Drain Bead on AIM and DrainBead on Yahoo Messenger, if anyone has those. And I’m online about 30 hours a week, thanks to my job, so feel free to say hey anytime.
