No, not ignoring them in particular. I'm like a rabbit ... or
   maybe a butterfly.. and I jump from one thing to another very
   quickly - from Facebook to Vine to G+ to something I'm
   researching, to doing business paperwork, to being an empathic
   listener to a story and maybe solving a problem or simply 'being
   there', to something else... and I fall _way_ behind on private
   messages on *all* services. So, I'm sorry about that. I got ppl
   waiting two years for me to get back to them. I see them in
   public forums and talk there, but I have a backlog of private
   msgs that I hit when I can.

   So, it's nothing personal. I give things 100% of my attention,
   like this message right now, and I default to public forums
   where the exposure is greatest [potential of benefit > through
   larger numbers of viewers]

   Anyhow, I'll respond today - I promise, since you brought it to
   my attention. [I won't tell you what # the messages tab says on
   FB - it's kinda embarrassing... I'm really bad about them]
