But JennyS made it seem like she has ongoing PM's with someone, then just stops.
Yes, sometimes.
If I'm in the middle of a real conversation about something, then no, I wouldn't, that would be silly.
But sometimes those conversations end, and then the person who had written me keeps writing me each day, asking how my day was or what's going on etc etc. And in those cases, yes, sometimes I just don't reply.
Saying "Stop writing me" would make me feel too guilty. Saying "Stop writing me until you have something interesting to say" would feel way too arrogant.
It's just... like I said... I prefer to do most of my writing out here in the forums. To me, PMs are just for the occasional personal side conversation that might spring up. But I really don't want to enter into a kind of penpal relationship with people where I'm talking about what's going on in our lives each day, etc.
And I know that might sound rude, and I don't mean it to be, I'm just trying to honestly answer you about where I'm coming from.
