As far as I'm concerned, if people can't be bothered to at least introduce themselves, be polite, and formulate a minimally-informative email, I can't be bothered to respond.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03251821175075255774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7466591705634648673.post-12124560362369154702010-07-28T15:06:10.790-04:002010-07-28T15:06:10.790-04:00Ugh, I can relate.
