Hello. Recently I’ve had several potential exchangers abruptly stop communicating. They go silent on the other end. I’ve sent follow-up messages but still no response. Are people really that rude or is something else up, a compromise in the system perhaps? ---

No problem in the system in theory. It’s probably ghosting ---

Thank you. Is ghosting common? What happened to manners? ---
