I, too, got a random email from an ex this summer. However, it was a GREAT thing! Yes, my name had changed due to marriage, but he found me by googling my maiden name and then finding links to APO, and then finding my current email from there. Stalkerish? Naw, just being resourceful!

He's married w/ kids, I'm divorced now - but it was great to touch base with someone who knew me 'way back when.' We still email back and forth every now and then - not b/c he wants me back (or I want him back), but b/c we're mature enough to carry on a friendship. I've met his wife and kids, and I'm happy that he's found happiness as well.

I guess the point I'm making is to not read too much into it. I don't subscribe to the premise from "When Harry Met Sally..." that guys and girls can't be 'just friends.' Maturity can change a lot of things, and one can never have too many friends.
