not the weird, some lottery winning, or a weird guy who claims to be chased by some interpol. just a friendly "hi, my name is bla bla bla" kind of email.
well, i just got one, and im replying it. he finds me via friendster. but if anything got wrong or if he wants to meet me in a private place, then ill blocked him forever. happens a few times, tho.
what about u?

If I don't know who it's from I don't even open it. I'm always very nervous about viruses. My last computer died because of a virus so I'm always extra careful.

If it's via normal email I wouldn't usually reply... I figure that they won't be offended if they didn't know me in the first place.

If however, it's an email from someone I don't personally know but they're in the same lecture as me or like a PM on here, I'll answer it.

I normally would apply, but I don't get many random emails, I don't normally take random friend invites on myspace either XD Unless I know the person, or they live within like 50 miles XD, or unless I've talked to them before :3

When my family was featured on AOL for National Coming Out Day I was bombarded by e-mails from strangers. I answered all of them. I got a couple not so nice ones too. I answered them too unless it got really bad and then I blocked them.

Unless it's work-related, no.

After all, we're just molecules that can talk.
