Yes! I could not agree with you more. I guess it's kind of dumb or naive of me, but it really does make me sad.

One friend (who was on the "hadn't replied yet" list) was pregnant. And she had her baby a few days ago. So, I feel she has a good excuse. For the others ... pretty much no. (LOLz)

I did end up sending out the emails last night instead of today. I heard back from three or four of the people. I'm figuring that's pretty much it at this point. *sigh*
