11. Maybe you could plead technological incompetence and ask them to re-send the message

because you accidentally deleted it and need to be reminded of something that was in it? You said you didn't want to respond again, but you could determine if something's off?

I understand that being ignored sucks, though. I didn't get any communication from any of my relatives - not even siblings - on Christmas. Not a phone call, not an email, nada. I don't think my nieces and their kids could even pick me out of a lineup. It's probably my fault for not trying harder at my end. But it sucks anyhow.
