reader, anonymous, writes (8 July 2009): are u dating the person u sent it to? if u are then yes a reply would be good! if its a close friend then yes a reply would be good too, i mean a text with hug and kiss at the end would indicate that the sender is doing s/thing nice by sending the hug. Some sort of reply would be good...a text saying "thanks", to say thanks for the text u sent would be a nice thing to do, its what id do, but unfortunately some ppl are very self absorbed with theor own crap and dont think about how others feel, or maybe the person u sent it to is bust and hasnt had a chance to reply?

Generally, yes - they should have replied but you don't know the circumstances.
And anyway - since when did Aussies worry about etiquette?(sorry - couldn't resist!)
