Ditto. Staying in touch is important, and if you do it, it's easy and pleasant for everyone involved. If, as Mahogany said, people write with notes that don't constitute work, then my heart won't fill with dread to see their name appear in my mailbox. That's such a good thing!
and I suppose I should admit that not staying in contact with my advisors was almost my undoing at several stages in my career. I'm better at the chatting thing now that I'm older. Don't know why. Maybe it comes from being on the other side.
