whenever I hit up someone I've not spoken to before (or for a while) I'll usually introduce myself and ask how they are.. and wait for a response - I don't want to type an essay and find that that message didn't make it through
ICQ's a funny thing - I get SO many Turkish and Indian guys trying to 'chat' to me it's unreal - but cos I never know who's who I just accept everyone and then ignore/delete if it turns out they're a surfer or spammer - but I'd not close a window if they just said 'hello' unless I knew for sure that they weren't involved in this industry - ynever know where the next bout of great traffic is gonna come from - so why turn down a potential opportunity if it doesn't hurt you to respond?
