The thing with e-mail is that it is entirely inpersonal. I feel that it is truly hard to maintain a relationship with another person and make a personal connection without actually seeing the person and hearing their voice. Using all of the senses is extremely important in making a personal connection. But, for this reason others seem to forget that there is another person behind the e-mail. People see their internet buddies as expendible. I am sorry that this happened, and I too am one of those people who feel things deeply and gets hurt as a result. What you must realize is that you can use this as a learning experience and also judge this person's character by her actions. She may seem to forget that you are a person, but you seem to always remember that she is human. You sound very sweet and I would always return your e-mails. Don't forget that there are others out there who tend to get emotionally involved just the same. Keep your head up and your heart open. Karen
