> I've been honored by your responses to my emails. In a way, I think that sending an email to you is like a "Jessica" test. That if you send back a response I feel like you at least see me as an individual in the sea of Babblers.
>
> When we were talking about me helping with technical things on the site a couple of years ago, it was disappointing to me that you took so long to reply. Rationally I knew that it was because what you needed to say would take time to put together. But I wanted you to be as excited about it as I was. You did reply, eventually, but I think I was more interested than you were.
>
> I'm very careful to only send you emails that I think are "important". Because I want you to be motivated to pay attention to them, and see me as a helpful Babbler.
>
> It feels like there is sibling rivalry on Babble. And one way to score points is to get an email from you.

> Thanks for asking.
> Falls.> Dr Bob, when you responded to my e-mail awhile back, could you tell me, to continue, whether warm feelings or outright love for me were involved?
> I'd so like to know......
> MuffledThanks, so at least Dinah, LegWarmers, and Falls have had similar feelings. Deneb, does that in fact help you feel less alone?
I'm sorry about not being able to reply promptly to everyone. Please don't take it personally. It doesn't mean you're just a drop in the bucket or I'm not interested. I have warm feelings for everyone who posts, because everyone who posts helps the community by contributing their unique voice.
