Why do people add you then...?

Question

... dont send you an email to talk? say hi or something?

Do you think they just do it too look at your Q&A?

At the same time i want contacts but it annoys me.

Answer 1

it's nice when someone wants to add you and they mail afterwards had that happen today thank you you know who you are. I know it is so annoying x

Answer 2

thats so true, most people dont send an email either before or after

its a bit sneaky if they just want to look at your Q&As

Answer 3

hum idk that is kinda annoying

im not sure why they do that  

Answer 4

That's a great question. I sometimes think people add me based on what my avatar looks like. Which is a silly reason.

Answer 5

You're one of my contacts, Sorry..but I don't have the time to personally say hi to all my contacts. But I do look at their questions and answer when I think I can contribute.

Answer 6

I just added you, but I hadn't even had a chance to send you an email when you posted this lol! I should probably do that right now!

Answer 7

Mainly due to time, I always read my contacts questions etc. But it is not possible to email them all.

Answer 8

I just did, sorry for not doing it earlier.

Answer 9

I usually email and ask if I can add someone first.  I choose people who have the same sense of humor or seem fun.  Some I never have contact with except to answer their questions, and some I email with a couple of times a week. If someone asks to add me I usually say yes, but if they aren't asking or answering questions that interest me after a week or two, then I drop them.

Answer 10

i agree with the 1st answer entirely and i also add people when they have good knowledge about a subject.

Answer 11

For me, it has come to the point where I won't add someone as a contact without first asking.  Common courtesy comes into play here and I would not be upset if anyone refused to allow me to add them.  I totally understand just because of the times.

Fortunately, I have not had anyone refuse me, and for that, I am grateful.

But whether they make an effort to contact me or not really doesn't bother me.  I know I don't contact them as much as I probably should, but we all have things going on, so I think most folks understand.

I've had some want to be a contact and then never hear or see anything from them again.  In fact, some never even come on Answers but possibly one or two times and then they are gone.

Answer 12

What do you want to talk about?   I appreciate the spelling correction.  

Answer 13

Hey! Just added you :)

Answer 14

yeah! i added you and my mom wont let me email people so thats why and i know its lame but its cool answering questions from yous contacts

Answer 15

there are some stupid people on here so be patient with them lol

Answer 16

i add people that i think are kinda cool lol

i dont talk to them tho.. unless they email me/

Answer 17

Point gaming tactic.   That's my best guess.
