[MadAsHellNewYorker]

12. yea, can't find squat

:grr:

[liontamer]

14. you can try friendster/myspace/orkut

alternatively try googling people who would have his/her contact info, maybe an employer?

15. thanks for the suggestion

17. google their name

[never cry wolf]

18. How long has it been happening?

If it's a day or 2, it is prolly someones server...

If it's truly the only email they gave you and they deleted the account, it's not necessarily because of you but you should wait until said person contacts you....


Respect their privacy, if they want to communicate with you, they have YOUR email address....

I know how tough it is, but be patient....
