Fish texts, Dallas Jenkins, and wrong-number friends

• Is it too late to respond to the fish-text man's birthday text?

Mike tells of getting Dallas Jenkins's Chosen text messages and answering 'stop texting me, Dallas,' and Ben asks for advice about an older man who texted him fish-catch photos and then a 'happy birthday' — the verdict is just say thanks. Mike's wrong-number story (a California woman's kid photos, 'this is Mike,' the texts stop) and Ben's wrong-number story ('hey, Kate, my name's Troy, I'm not actually Alex') round out a block on missed connections and whether to keep texting strangers who have the wrong number.
