4. I try to respond to every P.M. I receive if not
It's probably because I was was, busy, or had just gone to bed, and when I finally read the message, what it's about is no longer relevant, so I just toss it out as an "that's was last nights business" sort of thing...

"What the hell are you talking about?" When I'm posting in four different threads and I honestly don't know what the person is talking about.

7. Cause I'm an AMERICAN!
We AMERICANS don't answer to none of them Prime Ministers, or Royalty, or Judges with white wigs on, or them other things them Canadians do! And we don't talk funny, either, so stop snickering!

But I am trapped under something heavy, thanks for asking.

18. You can't send PMs to yourself, silly
I already made a plea to Skinner to change it, but he was unmoved. Sometimes Skinner is a heartless bastard.

17. two reasons
First reason I'm out of town. This often happens.

Second reason being I didn't notice it blinking up there.

I do eventually answer all I notice.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.

19. I do.
Sometimes, the conversation just ends if you're going back and forth for awhile. Overall though, I figure that of someone took the time to do this, especially if I know the person well, then maybe the nice thing to do is respond. I don't always get that back though. Sometimes for legitimate reasons, sometimes it just seems it takes forever for the other person to figure out they're thoughts. Me? I know how I think, feel, and whatever, so I just let my feelings about things just come out.

24. Only if it doesn't really require a response
or if it's from some unknown poster who was debating me and now wants to take it to PM. I never answer those.

25. It's kinda weird
but that "new mail" thingie almost never shows up. So I only get PMs about a week late. I still try to answer them - especially if they offer me chocolate, cheap wine or wild sex.

And yes, my dear, I am trapped under something heavy , but telling you his name would be indiscreet :)
