I dun wanna bite by default cuz of it, but I feel like it will be a consistent problem. The first few times I did not mind it but for Luna's sake. If you want something want to talk want to ask how are thing fine. But don't send a note pre-actively like an instant message on Steam or Skype that just says "hi". If you want to take these kind of conversations with me, I'm quite sure my steam account is on my profile page, send me a message on my dash board that you would like to talk with me or anything, steam will give me the notification, along with your friend request and I'll most probably accept it unless you are black listed but you have to do something for that. If you don't feel comfortable with that you can send me a note with you want my skype instead. Just don't send me notes that only contains "hi" take it as a distance letter. like formalities:

Hi/hello there, etc...

I would like to talk to you because your art is Shit/avarage/advanced/cool/awesome/stolen etc. blablabla
How are things over there?
<in this case you could send what's up on your end cuz I gonna ask it anyway,>
I hope you are (done with art)/(never make more)/(soon able to see more from you)/(able to do something about that stolen art) etc.

best wishes

Now I don't say follow the formula but I am gladly gonna respond to that for instance then something like a "hi"

with that I gonna answer the LAST note that came in with that and then I would like you to not have messages like this just saying "hi" and that's it.

Clear? clear. I hope.
