I ignore messages from people I do not with to interact with.
Oh, I do, too. These don't fall into that category at all. They are ongoing discussions with people who are friends or are very friendly associates and there are things we're working out. But...good news: ONE JUST RESPONDED! He'd been away enjoying some vacation for a few days and he apologized profusely for the delay. But it totally figures that he would apologize, because that isn't like him at all.
One of the others is the owner of a business. Very nice guy and all that, but he already has a reputation with me for being slow to respond with followup, or when you need some clarification on something. And yet he's very much in the "public eye" among people like me who are his clients and who work with what he produces. I sometimes wonder if others experience the same thing, but nobody wants to raise a stink in a public forum and make things even more difficult for themselves. It's just bewildering.
