LittleForgetMeNot ... you have hit the nail square on the head with this post and I thank you for it. Its infuriating to say the least! And rude! And hurtful etc. Seems to be be the way of the world lately. Then.... God forbide if you should ever be late in responding to someone elses IM . The way I handle it lately is by signing off for a couple hours to cool off.
