i think a lot of it is to do with the way you present yourself in your profile: I think people with pics have a higher number of responders, and there's a kind of balance of vagueness and intrigue that gets you swamped, when i first started on here I was swamped , but now I've honed the profile a bit and been a lot more specific I get a lot less mails, but they are the kind of mails I do actually want!

And it isn't just what is said but the way it is said and the impression that gives, at least thats one of the things I take into account. Whilst there are a fair few profiles that have caught my eye (Including yours I must say) there have only been a couple that have had the tone that sparked me to introduce myself. But a lot of that maybe because I'm quite new to this online thing and haven't yet adjusted to it.

Nice to actualy see someone on the forum that actualy turns up in my search settings
