Quick easy response that does not invalidate me and makes me feel I count and have not been abandoned.
This would be attributing an enormous amount of meaning into not responding to a casual, friend-like e-mail.
If something like this means that you're being invalidated, you don't count, and you've been abandoned, then what happens, for example, when you're in a huge crisis and not getting a response? The words you've used are pretty much as bad as it gets; what about gradations of responses depending on the situation? In this case, maybe such an e-mail would not warrant a reply, in other situations a reply might be reasonably expected. Doesn't it depend on the situation and not just on an e-mail sent -any e-mail- and not receiving a response?
