Don't let it bring you down!
heck there are people that I email and they do not even reply.
But remember, that is just a calibration of their personality.
The odd thing is if they ever needed help I would still try to help them.
hope all ends well!

Subject: Does the name 'Ed Kelleher' ring any bells?
