Ok, one of those little things that bugs me. When you send someone an e-mail at work with specific questions (heck, I usually even bullet point them and separate them into their own paragraph). Days go by, and no answer. You send a follow up e-mail. More days go by, no answer. Then, people wonder why you don’t have the answer. You track the person down in person and they act like they haven’t even read your e-mail and you have to start from the beginning and basically quote your e-mail to them. GRRR! E-mail is there for a reason! To put it in geekspeak, it allows for asynchronous communication.

so why I turn on read receipts. Helps about 90% of the time. I hate people who have them turned off though. Rotten bastards.
