What lying sack of $*** you are. Since the very first time I PMd you and you publicly told everyone, never did i PM you dumbass.

I know you're naturally stupid, but at least try harder without lying. Desperation comes to mind when you dig that deep.

Trust me, I'd rather make fun of you in public.

Maybe questions shouldn't be asked at all.

Sometimes a simple question can lead to things spinning out of control.

Thats very ironic!!

Oh wise oracle of the appalachian mountains!!!

Perhaps its like having the winning numbers on your ticket, but waiting 465 days to claim it?

Although to be fair, to expect an answer from a PM with onlymonkey is to expect water to flow through a rock.

I have to concur with DR DRE65,

I do like to answer my PM, I don't get a lot, (not as many as onlymonkey,) but they do trickle in.

There is a certain intimacy with Private Messages, that at times may border on obsession!!!!

Thats what lottery is fundamentally. An intimate experience of the universe, if you look and feel deep enough. But I digress,

Sometimes, I get a long winded PM, and I don't answer because I don't really feel like reading all that drivel.

But I am guilty the sam... [ More ]

Hello addai and thank you for the nice words! Oh no, no luck there it's pure courtesy. I try my best to answer whoever contacts

me because I don't like to ignore pm's. It may take me awhile but my general feeling for me anyway is I can't just let a pm go

and have the person wonder why I'm not responding. I know a lot of people here do a lot of things and my answer to the OP was

a more or less stand in for the ones that do not or won't answer. I can understand someone who has 40+k posts... [ More ]

Simply put, you are not entitled to an answer, unless you paid for it. Most people are not on the same timetable you are on. Eventually, people will answer your question, but complaining about it, will even make them ignore you, or give you a crappy answer because you are acting like they owe you an answer, just because you asked{demanded it}. THEY DON'T OWE YOU A THING!!!.

But if it is rude to not answer someone's question, each question should have thousands of answers. And then anybody can seem to be rude by just offering their opinion because they didn't want to rude by not answering the question.

Tony869 wants to know if we played someone else's play slip and won https://www.lotterypost.com/thread/273832 . Are we being rude by not giving a no answer if we haven't played and won using somebody's play slip

What gets counted as rude is their reaction to an honest answer. Most questions you hear are people looking for confirmation. You get more for sugar than for salt. Just look at political promises going steady with a 17 trillion dollar middle class crushing deficit.

So if someone ignores somebody, so be it, there is nothing wrong with it, somebody might not like that, but there is nothing wrong with that. People might have a reason or reasons for ignoring a question or questions or even for ignoring people, growup, such is life.
