It often baffles me when people trying to sell you are rude to you.

I make a post soliciting designers. With my icq being public, you can only imagine the swarm of messages that start coming in. I am talking over 30 plus, and that isn't counting all the day-to-day icqs that I get.

It would be almost impossible for me to look them all over in one day.

Every time I make a designer solicitation, at least a flock of 8 or 9 new ones appear. I have no problem with that, I really try to look at everyone that hits me up, and even if I do not use them, I slide them in my designer icq group.

The best ones are the ones that icq you: I am interested, my portfolio located here blah.com. I have done work for ARS.

Then I can check it all out.

But a lot of them icq me with: You there.

5 minutes later.

:::?

20 minutes later.

:::???

Just par for the course, doesn't bother me. But it still adds to the load of flashing icq icons.


Today, I get this:

:::????????????????

Then, 5 minutes later,

:::you know how to answer people?

I told him I have a certain way of doing things and that I wouldn't be needing his services. Seriously though? Is it just me? I don't think I could chat with all these guys about what they offer. IMO, you should just toss your product and what you can do into the pool. I don't even mind someone reminding me, but certainly don't be rude.

Just seems like basic common sense. Maybe it is just me though?
