[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rude of her but not a wasted effort if you keep the email and just send the same thing to the next person who asks.  Next time before putting a lot of effort into something make the person making the request do something beforehand like draft a few specific questions or answer your questions.  That weeds out people who are just wasting your time.[/quote]

This. You don't know if her sister was meddling or not. My Mom does this to me all the time--"I talked to thus and so about how you want to get a job in their industry." Me: "Mom, I am not interested in working in their industry." Mom: "well, I told them you were." Sigh.

Before wasting lots of time on an email (based on my family experiences) I would have written and said: Larla, your sister was telling me about your interest in "blah" and I would be happy to write / talk to you more about it. Are you interested? If so, email, text or call me at whatever and I can send you more information. So, the ball is in her court and she can respond to you.

Depending on the day or the amount of spam email I have, if I am not expecting an email from someone I might never see it--especially if I have never met them before and they are not in my contacts. [/quote]
