IME this is usually because the person you sent it to has other things to do 
that they consider more important.  So many times I have called someone and 
asked if they read the email - "oh, i glanced over it but haven't taken it 
in yet".  If you understand this concept then you understand why a lot of 
things in the world work the way they do.

Me too, but I know when it needs to be used.

> Hate dumb people.

Only if they are trying to a job which they are not skilled enough for, and 
then I really don't hate them, just the manager that put them there.
