I have to admit I cannot stand it when someone IMs me and it takes 10 posts before they get to what they need. "How are you?" "Fine. And you? (need to be polite)". "Fine here too. How's the weather" "Great". "Rainy here". "Sunny here" "You're so lucky" "Yes, I like it here". "I need a vacation" "Me too". "I've been so busy I can't get away" "I know the feeling". "My (enter relationship here) keeps saying we are going somewhere but we never do" "Bummer!" "How are the dogs?" "Doing well, thank you

" "You must love living in the woods" "I do!" "I know your TOS says I can't mail you out, but can I?" "No".
JUST ASK ME THE QUESTION - we can still chat - but ask the question first so I can start working on whatever you need
Pushpills is never a problem - his usually starts with "I need to send you more traffic so I can buy more cologne. Got any specific graphics you can send me?"
