We’ll start with a rather light subject…emails/letters. More specifically, the energy to initiate a conversation with an email, and the time elapsing between reply and any significance it may mean. Now this more than almost anything would depend on the individual person, or more, the relationship between the receiver and the sender. Keep in mind the views of the sender have little to do with the response of the receiver. That is unless, the receiver has a feeling of such guilt or obligation to reply, even then those feelings are controllable by the responder.
I guess the questions can only be answered specifically per person, per letter, yet I imagine there are very few instances where an email/letter is sent just for the purpose of passing along information. That is, unless they are silly forwards. But I can not imagine a person composing thoughts and sending them to someone specific unless they had the desire of that specific person’s response or insight to the said information in the letter.
Some questions to ponder and reply… time between original email sent and reply sent? was the reply immediate/delayed out of lack of desire/delayed out of ponderment and desire to reflect? Does length matter? Does depth matter on the reply? What about the ratio between responses to engaged material and new material initiated? Answered questions to asked questions? Were any questions not answered? What about the greeting and salutation…are they personal or well thoughtout?
Yes these are things I think of…what did I miss? What do you think of? What are your thoughts of my questions? KEEP THINKING!

Ahhh.. but can two people have different thoughts of how close the relationship is between them both? Does this affect the response time and the content of the letter/e-mail? I can only speak for myself as of now on this issue. If and when I feel that a person is important to me, I personally place much thought into the e-mails I send (especially if they are to a friend in a far away country who needs them to be brief and to the point). As for others I do not know. But, the speed of the response is very specific in relation to the individual responding and the relationship between the two people writing. Additionally, for me, the salutation and closing words are always sincere and meant to be significant. Hope you are well, missing you so very much. P.S the Ladies beat Port today and now are 2-0 they are Rockin! Love, Warm hugs and as always, Smiles!
