ita - it's possible that meeting notices get sent to his junk/spam folder. Or that he doesn't realize what they are. Or he ignores e-mail. Or, possibly, he's a jerk.

No, he read the invite. He accepted the meeting. He just chose not to send a response when he added it to his calendar. There are four people invited to the meeting. He's the guest of honour. I will not be overwhelmed by email traffic. Keep a meeting organiser informed, will you?

I rarely, if ever, send a response with my meeting acceptances.

I'm "at work". As in, we are having a craft fair today and I have a table set-up. Also have the work computer set-up. Will try to juggle. I've sold two ornaments so far. The gal with the embroidered toilet paper is back. Her table is directly across from me.

Man, it is chilly in the office today. I am wearing two sweaters and my infinity scarf and only just feel warm enough.

We got a big snow drop last night and it is still coming down. It a beautiful backdrop for the fair. I just hope the roads are clear when it is time to go home.

I never send a response if I'm just accepting. If declining I probably would

Is this in Outlook that you don't send responses? Because if I don't get a response, I can't tell if you're coming or not. Isn't it important that they know? What am I missing?

It is in outlook, but it means I hit "accept" and it just sends that I've accepted the meeting, no like "do excited for this meeting!" text or anything.

it just sends that I've accepted the meeting

But what I'm talking about is the option in Outlook to not send a response. To not send anything. That's where my problem is. If you don't send anything, I can't tell you from someone who hasn't read or hasn't responded to my invite. So I have to track you down.

Is it standard TV twin magic that lets them do the switcheroo the show hinges on?

Yes, it's a very only-on-TV kind of show. There is some occasional handwaving but mostly it's a matter of embracing the ridiculousness.
