I HATE when the ONLY time I hear from someone I haven't talked to in a long time is because they've got a Technical question and I'm their 'Techie' friend.
One funny instance was when I heard from this girl. I had met her years ago when I worked for CompUSA. I basically helped her build her PowerMac system (including me getting her the equipment at cost). I had lost touch with her over the years (cause i've moved around a bit)
Then one day I get an email from her! A friend of a friend had given her my info, color me HAPPY that this cutey was interested in looking me up to see how I was doing!
So I wrote her back, a little chit-chat about how I was doing and how I was no longer doing Mac stuff (that was a test to see if she was just interested in looking me up for tech help). Guess what? The saucy wench never wrote back! Once she found out I don't do Macs anymore, that spun her around right outta town.
FINE by me! Friends like that ain't worth havin.
