Angel is bad about just disappearing from a conversation. Its been this long, and he stil does it. I dont get angry, though, since he does live on campus. When he disappears, it is usually not something he can help. He will expain when he comes back later. While the majority of his friends know of me, they dont understand why he would have to go back to his computer and let me know he was disappearing, jst bcasue we were chatting online. He doesnt have to do it for anyone else, and they dont do it... so I deal. Campus life doesnt always allow for undivided attention. My other boys are often just as bad, but they have less leeway for forgetting, since I know its ust them multitasking in too many places. I will tell them to find me when they are less involved elsewhere, and if it gets to that point they know they are in trouble. I have a few simple rules about contact online... if we are in a conversation, you tell me that you are distracted. If you start a conversation, you had better be able to talk, not tell me you have to rush off a few minutes later. And most important if I ask a question in IMs or email, you had better answer it. If I know up front someone is in the middle of something, I am more likely to be OK waiting for a resoonse than if they tell me I am their only conversation at the moment and then they go silent. DV
