I hate
when people send me an email, with something like 'how are you?', 'are you alive?', etc. Just to keep the "channel" alive (not me), if you want to see someone go and see her/him, but don't ask stupid questions like those. This demonstrates the zero effort. Besides what can I reply to them, 'I'm ok' just that, my life isn't full of exciting events that can be enumerated everytime for everyone, then I remember ... and decay in depression.
