what friends are for
A sequel to this post.
When Susan wrote me months later to tell me that she'd broken up with Jake, read receipts were in their infancy. (A read receipt is an option that a mail sender can select so that she's notified whenever an email is opened.) Wary, I looked at her email in my Inbox and didn't open it. Dorkass and I sat behind my computer, speculating about what it contained. "Oh, just open it! I wanna know what it says!" she said.
"I think I'll just delete it," I replied.
And then she lunged at my keyboard and hit ENTER, opening the email and triggering the read receipt. Bitch.
