Hey Pat - just getting caught up. This explains the PM I guess

Yeah - why wouldn't you be hurt? I wish I could call him myself and clue him in. This sounds less as though he doesn't appreciate you personally than it does that he might just be a flake. I'm not putting him down -- I'm kinda flaky as a friend, too. A bit lazy, I guess. I'm willing to bet that he has absolutely no idea that you are so hurt. He'd probably be floored if he knew. I'd go for what Sleeps said - drop him a note with a simple confession. Doesn't sound like he's the type to get into a lot of drama, but if he's someone you respect, then I would imagine that he wouldn't have a problem apologizing and making it right.
((( Pat )))
