DEAR MISS MANNERS: I am really excited about an upcoming event, and am trying to solve all possible problems ahead of time. Yesterday, two people asked me (over email) to stop sending them so many emails.
Should I write back and say, "OK, I will try not to send so many emails"? It seems annoying and contradictory to write back; however, I feel like I should respond when people email me, and I don't want to seem angry.
GENTLE READER: And you could send one after that, saying, "I hope you got my email about not sending so many emails." But only if you don't care if they attend the event.
