badevel Absolutely - I'd be pretty miffed if someone logged off without a word when we'd arranged the time to talk. Like I said, there are some people that I wouldn't even consider logging off without saying goodbye to.

badevel Again this depends, on what the other person is doing whilst they are talking with you. If they are at work, or at home with small children then they wouldn't always get the chance to give you the whole 'anyway, its been nice chatting with you but I have to...

badevel I think this very much depends on individual circumstances. How long you had been with your partner, how much you love them, what kind of an affair it was. If you've been with your partner a long time I think you have more invested in the relationship and...

badevel As far as private trackers are concerned I mostly use Demonoid. It seems to carry most of the things I want to download and I don't really have any probelms with it. Having said that my ratio is pretty good there so maybe that makes a difference to my download...
