Lol how do you "lose an email"? Shit, where is my little paper address book I keep those real friend email addies written down?

I actually did that, a note from an editor about suggested changes to an accepted story. I emailed her back with a groveling: "I don't know what happened but I can't find your email, can you resend?" ... I suspect a twitchy finger on the delete bin was to blame.

In Steve's example, I have to scratch my head: You lost my email buddy, yet you're emailing me now, uh?????

How you lose an email is being half-asleep, inebriated, delirious, pre-partum, post-partum, or disassociating and hitting delete on the keyboard. Ask me how I know.

With intentionality and feigned ignorance?

Yes, but how do you justify yourself this explanation does not sound like complete bullshit to the person you're writing?

Obliviousness and abandoning reality?

Perhaps they were possessed by a cosmic elder god, and their eyes are bulging from their crotch while their balls are drooling from their eye sockets. Anything else wouldn’t make sense.

The head over the parapet, you're love, man, you'll get this back. People look to you.

For something in themselves, for most of us it's all we can do.

I'm on your side. Load my chambers, baby... my finger is itchy.
