When communicating over the Internet you really need to take extra precautions to ensure that the other party has received your full message.

I agree
Often times I'll get an email that says "second request" then an email message and I'll think "hmmm, I didn't even see the first request" or I'll get an ICQ with "well?"
I always try to follow up emails/ICQs if I don't receive a reply. Sometimes, I'll just pick up the phone.
