Why are there so many people oin this site who send you a message and then you answer and wait ages... and I mean ages like 3 weeks once, for their reply
I don't think there's any particular, single reason. In fact there are a million reasons. Some good, some nefarious.
There are no entry requirements to setting up a profile here and new members are free to interact and send messages straight away.
Like everywhere else on the internet, there are people out there who are captivated by just being able to say stuff to someone else and they're not even aware that they've initiated some social contract.
Looks like you've put a lot of time and effort into making some fabulous content. All the best to you, making connections.
Thanks Richard. I can accept when I send someone a message that it could be ages before they respond as, as you say, they could be doing a million other things. What gets me is when people ask me a question and I reply and then they take for ever to check that you have replied to them.
