To All: A question of etiquette. I currently have ICQ online chat system. Typically this is a 'chat with friends' type feature. However ICQ also has function for meeting people. To do this you add them to your contact list and then you can send them messages. Now while I don't seek out strangers to contact, I do get contacted a lot and interestingly enough always by women. I will get a notice from ICQ that Amy, Barbara, Connie, or some other female has added me to their contact list. However when I check them they are always unavailable for me to contact. They have added me and are gone. But they always do come back. I will get a message that I can now see Amy, Barbara etc. and some of her 'friends' and for just so much a month I can find out how uninhibited and agile they are. Other than an irritating inability of any of them to be able to spell the word 'come', this is the common trait for all of these contacts. But when they do send me a message, we are then able to establish a sort of bond, communicate if you will. Since I am sent a message, not being simply added to their contact list, I can put them on 'Ignore' with ICQ. Today however I got a message from Erika. I don't recall Erika ever adding me but I don't keep track of these things. And Erika sent me a message saying "Hi, How are you doing?" I pondered this message for some time, I was quite puzzled. Then replied "Hello Erika, I don't believe I know you." And I got no reply. Was this a breach of ICQ etiquette? Should I have responded with a deluge of pornographic suggestions, ideas, and all round disgusting behaviour as distasteful as that might seem to me (since it involves my being basically honest)? Is it good form on ICQ to demonstrate to all strangers that you have no blood in your circulatory system only sexual hormones? Was I too forward? Should I have sent her a photo of me? [I modified some photos of Brad Pitt and early Robert Redford that I keep on file as I feel these represent more my 'true self'.] Just what is the proper response to this? Druss
