Ghosting: it's like the online equivalent of sending a strongly-worded letter, but without the letter, or the pen, or the paper, or the postal system, or... you get the idea.

Or, you know, just like that one aunt who cancelled plans at the last minute, but without the benefit of a "I'm sorry, I'm busy" phone call.
Ghosting: where the only thing more surprising than the disappearance is the lack of a decent explanation for why you're being left in the dark.
