I've noticed that, throughout my time here, if you send a personal message to a more popular member, such as Trader, Stratofortress, Truce... they just don't respond. Of course, if you know that person/are well known yourself, they will probably respond. I personally think it's simply easier to respond with a message like "No, I'm not releasing it" or "No, I can't help you" or "No, that won't work." then just ignoring the person who sent you the message. Many of these people are active every day, posting in other topics. Just because you aren't a very well-known member doesn't mean you have to be ignored.
That's my little rant. No, my "feelings were not hurt" or anything like that, I just felt like making a topic about it because it's so common (for me at least). However, some well-known members actually have taken the time to respond to me, like Space Guy, Darkstar, Packer and Burger.
So, do you have the same problem? Or not? Do you think this is a load of bullcrap? Just post your opinions here, as long as you have a good reason.
