How Not To Message A Match: Wait 2 Years (Or Months)

Who takes 2 months to respond to a message? This guy named... Brian. You never can trust Brians to respond in a timely fashion. I just got a note that says,

"It took like 2 years to reply but... how's it going? lol."

Yep. He said lol. Smooth.

So I went back and checked how our conversation was left off, and when. Two months. So I reread our conversation just for giggles, perhaps he came off as a jerk from the beginning? Well, he seemed nice except for--oh wait, his first reply took 2 weeks. And now here we are with his second response taking 2 months. Interesting. Does that mean if I write back now his third response will take 2 years?

The best part is he initiated this communication. I wonder if he treats everyone like he treats me. My question: how do I indicate his etiquette is lame without actually coming out and saying so?
