And the written word is different from talking on the phone. Without cadence and inflection things can be interpreted differently thru an email or DM. Throw in a night of drinking and poor grammar and spelling and you can easily get an email from a decent & normal person that comes across like it was written by some crazy lurker stalker who may or may not have a chicken in his house.

Don’t forget autocorrect mishaps too. A few poorly placed finger strikes, and your text convo about a “pending sale” suddenly takes an unexpected turn to “pen15 date”.

onlyweaknesskryptonite Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 So far reading through the consensus is: 1. that it would be polite to say Thank you. 2. Almost everyone enjoys mail. 3. That hand written personalized message means more. So maybe hand write a thank you letter and add him to your Christmas Card mailer..

ThothAmon Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 My cousin, who I grew up with, came to visit last summer with her family. During dinner, the second night, she told me about this great present she ALMOST got for my wife and I. All I could do was shake my head and realize that people rarely change. Lol.

Since I already had the book all packed up, I just decided to ship it to him for free. It fair to say that he was a happy camper and left positive FB.
