What is it with people!?

Ok so I have noticed a distinct pattern lately when dealing with people that manifests itself most heavily when using e-mail as a communication medium. This pattern is that when asking someone multiple questions in an e-mail message, their response will rarely ever include more than one answer to one of those questions. Typically the response will only ever answer the last question. WTF!? the whole point of e-mail is to be able to communicate more information faster with a record of correspondences for reference. Why the hell will people not reference the message they are replying to while they are typing their reply. Am I going to have to start sending multiple messages back to back to the same person with only 1 question each. HOLY SHIT PEOPLE! Is it really that hard to formulate a response that you cannot be at least mildly thorough about it? I really hate this because now I have to e-mail them back and be like "Um what about Questions 1-3? You only answered number 4."

Wesabe

So doing my normal thing and reading through my RSS feeds and I come across an article about getting finances in order using a new webapp called Wesabe. So I decide to check it out. Their privacy policy is great they include a "Data Bill of Rights" basically they are insanely paranoid when it comes to security, don't store any financial account data on their servers, keep personally identifying information separate from financial data, and when you want to delete all your stuff from their system they let you. Best of all it is free. They have a couple of ways to get financial data onto their system and they are relatively easy once you RTFM. I have already put in my information and am going to be using it to monitor where my money goes so that I can try to get a grip on my finances and pay off my debt. Anyway if you are like me and need help getting this stuff organized check it out HERE.
