So i message him with a move, saying i would endeavour to move fas ...[text shortened]... is to remove his name from the post.
...and there's reason #10: you pissed him off somehow....
people seem to forget - English has become the central language of the world but not everybody in the world can speak English. Does he have a profile? if not maybe he couldn't fill that in either..? It's possible that he doesn't even use the same alphabet (Turkish, Greek, Russian, Chinese...) so won't have a hope of understanding you. Maybe he is chosing to ignore you, but maybe not.

Believe me, I live in a student hall where 95% of the residents come from a non-English speaking background, so that's not something i'm likely to forget. That was my first thought, but his profile is in very correct English and says he is from the US.

OK, fair point then - I coudn't check him out myself because you've (rightly) left his name out of this thread. Noone had mentioned it as a posibility so I thougth I should.

i think yours was a good point, well worth making.
