When I read this sort of post, or the more common 'everyone here is a fake' whinge fests, I always have the same reaction...
What site are these people on?
In about 4 years here on CM, I have found non-responses to be the exception, rather than the rule, and even, IMX, most of the 'No's were at least, marginally polite. I have met a lot of wonderful people through this site, and made some good friends.
Well in your case this is understandable, look at your photos, they won you the eye candy award didn't they[:D]
It is not only that, but you are one of the most warm people on CM, and I bet that warmth translates to the people you have contacted.
Yup. Well, personally, I didn't even notice the pictures at first (except for the obvious one) and its a good thing, because they
probably would have scared me off. But I did notice the warmth. And, after reading a couple of hundred forum posts, realized it was so consistant, decided it was probably genuine. The way one presents oneself makes a huge difference. :)
In response to the OP, sometimes what appears to be a lack of courtesy is a simple matter of pragmatics. When I was first looking, I really did try to respond to every mail. That kept me logged in for a couple hours every day which only encouraged more mail. It was a no win battle, and I eventually gave up. I wouldn't take it personally.
