Absolutely... There may be fake ones out here... or someone whom we wouldn't like to talk to, but then, that shouldn't necessarily mean that we should forget our manners or courtesy. Dropping by a line politely and mentioning that we wouldn't be interested -- I guess that's fair enough. Ofcourse, from the next time onwards, if the person stil insists, then, we could neglect... and move on

It can also mean your email gets into their filter box (but I take it you check if your messages get read).
I find it disrepectful as well, but apparently different rules apply in the virtual world... on the other hand, if I receive a disrepecful message, I choose rather to not reply than to give the person attention or get into an arguement.
It's always nice to see some common courtesy applied, even if it's to tell you they're not interested.
I don't reply to every e-mail I get. If I did, I would not have time to do what I want to on here. Mostly I don't reply because I know the e-mail is a copy and paste that is sent out to many women. I just got an e-mail from someone this morning asking if I wanted to exchange naked pics I did not respond to it, just detete and move on

I do not reply all the time, either because the English used in them is bad, or the people are from the areas I blocked (don't ask me how they get throug, I have no clue), they are rude or arrogant, they don't meet my search criterias or just because I am not interested. A lot of men on these sites can't handle rejection and start insulting or demand an explanation for you telling them you they are not their type, for they would love you long time. I believe no reply is an answer too. And, no, I do not find it rude. Now if it is someone I have communicated before and I see they read my e-mails and they are/have been online since, but haven't replied, yes, that is rude. JMO

Yes, no response is disrespectful.
And there are situations when I consciously chose not to response, for example, when I take the sender for a scammer, or when I don’t have time or lust to waste my time explaining that I’m not interested in gentlemen who are 20 years younger than I am.
Otherwise I response... though it seldom does me any good.

Sometimes there are too many to reply to and not enough time. Invariably one gets more before the last ones can be dealt with, its unfortuante but true.

I don't think anyone owes anything. Just because you have expectations of others doesn't mean they follow your rules or that they actually mean disrespect. - You don't even owe me a response to this and I won't label you disrespectful.

Yes
You.. and all of us... are HUMANS and we ain`t gonna loose anything if we just say Hello
People will not reply for the sake of poor spelling and grammer. I am sorry to inform....but one self made (made the hard way) multi-millionaire.....can not read or write. I wonder if he turns his nose up at those less productive in life at some other dating site.

Well you know it depends on your experiences here. Some are lucky to get 'normal' human beings write to them and I admit I have had the pleasure of such folks on the rare occasion - usually folks from the forums. However what is more common is that everytime I see mail in my box from someone NOT on forums - its a scammer. At first I answered all mail even these with polite reminders that they were not to ask or give email addresses and to go read the rules. Now after a year's worth of scammers I'm not feeling so nice and friendly anymore. If its someone I know I'll respond accordingly but woe be unto you if I discover you're a scammer trying to waste my time, then you'll get what you justly deserve. I'm happy to report though that I haven't had any of these in a long while. Maybe things are looking up for once on this site. But Lord knows how many other frustrated people are out there who just don't give a damn anymore and just can't be bothered once they are not interested.
