thanks. i drafted a response, but haven't sent.

the NEED is 1. that she asked directly, 2. i have to clarify for her what payments are required.

hehe - my own advice includes both reply and dont.

reply: i normally would reply straight away. one dont reply argument is to make her wait but that is just being nasty. i am not trying to punish her.

dont: i dont want to appear to be sitting around at her beck and call.

so i'm going with dont? i can always send later, i can't take it back.

these games are doing my head in. I keep looking for signs of her tone in the email. Did she use my name, a signature, why the baiting remark at the end. BTW my drafted response is emotion-less smile
