Some people use the anonymity of the Internet to be pills, but no one has to swallow bad behavior.  And just as no one should drink and drive, no one should drink and Yahoo! Answer.

Answer 8

I am a senior but never have emailed any one: however, I have no problem with anyone mailing me. You can reach me at [e-mail]. I would be happy to  talk to you.

I think there are people who just want to ask and answer question but not start a conversation or be contacted for persona reasons. But, I do not find that senior are any more likely to not want to be contacted. It seems to me that in general, most people prefer not to be contacted for various reasons.

Have a great Day and Email me any time. I may not be able to respond soon because I am going from Columbia, SC to Seattle , WA for a month. I will be in the hospital most of that time. I am leaving on September 2,2008.

Have a great day and hope someone will allow you to contact them.

Answer 9

I have in fact received several emails from folks from Seniors. It makes me feel good to know that there are folks out there that really do care. Once in a great while I will get a ''hate'' email. But before I can respond to it, they have closed their email again. To me that is the coward way out of it. But what they don't know is, they won't get any ''hate'' email back from me.

You know what is really sad is that when kids have a dispute about something, they end up working the problem out and end up being ''friends'' again. But when some adults have a dispute, they don't try to work out the problem, they just don't talk to each other to solve the problem. They shut folks out or in this case, close their email so as not to talk it out. When someone has a problem with me, I try to work it out, but if they close me out, there is nothing that I can do about it.

Answer 10

Yes I get some e-mails from the seniors, I have made friends with over the time I have been on Q&A. And I e-mail them back I have received photo's of their house and family and sent photo's of my house and family. My best friend lives in Michigan, and we have a lot in common, and she is first class at taking photos of beautiful scenery.

Good question have a star.

Answer 11

I get emails from people in Senior Citizens category from time to time.  Most of them are very enjoyable.  I just ignore the cranks.

Answer 12

lol its reassuring to know that even the older wiser YA users have fights on here

Answer 13

If someone does not allow email, why bother with them?  Some people who have a working email seem to enjoy using their Q's to insult people in public once you give them an honest answer...go figure!

I guess there's no way to know what a person's intentions are until they stick it in your face...up front & personal & for all the world to see!

Answer 14

Apologies to all... because there are a couple regulars here that are in fact trolls I have had to make may profile unavailable and not allow email. I am sorry if this has been an inconvenience however I have to also deal with the reality that the intentions of  a few here are less than peaceful.

Answer 15

I get emails and enjoy them.If some one wants to be ugly to me, leave your email open so I can tell you where to go. And I don't mean your room either!  People who do this hateful thing, then cut you off from their email are cowards---like a hit and run. that is what I call them because it is the same thing.  Grow up! Play nice. we should all be friends here for goodness sakes!     Poppy

Answer 16

Answer 17

I didn't think anyone could email you unless they had their email activated.  What do they do, email you and then immediately block their own email?  

To answer your question, yes, I do receive emails from users. Some are regular some are one-time.  I received two today and answered both.

Answer 18

I've had people ask me if I got their e-mail and I didn't!!  I've e-mailed a few and only had 2 or 3 respond.  I don't think the e-mail thru Answers is very reliable!!

Answer 19

I am not sure how they are doing that.  I closed my mail due to problems, and because of that cannot e-mail either.  

Answer 20

I did up until about 4 days ago. I can't receive my Yahoo Answers mail for some reason. I have reported it, I hope it's fixed soon. I do like to to send and receive.

Answer 21

On occasion I get emails, the only ones that bother me when I can't reply is the ones I'd like to thank for a nice remark or two. The rest I take with a grain of salt and respect their opinion to make a comment and let it go at that.
