Many of us receive a lot of messages each day. We do not have time to read and reply to each one of it. Call it rude, call it whatever. But that's the ugly truth. Most of us do not wish to waste our time on anything or anyone who does not interest us. Remember that CM messages are not the only messages one gets when they are on their pc. Work emails, friend's forwards, emails, facebook chats, facebook messages, twitters, etc etc. Even office emails, I do not reply with "received or thank you" unless it's an important email. What more for messages from strangers that do not fall in my interest "group".
This thread appears beaten to death, with little if anything to be added at this point. However, I am bored and will add a little something anyway. I strongly agree with what YourQueenErisca says above (and with the dozens of similar comments by others).
I do make an effort to reply to those who seem sincere. However, I simply don't always have the time or the energy to write back, and messages stack up quickly in my inbox. There certainly have been countless times when I myself wrote to someone and never received a response. As sensitive as I am, I somehow managed to pick up the pieces of my life and move on.
I do feel for those who have taken the time to write multi-paragraph messages. Ironically, however, those often are the messages I don't respond to. I may not feel like reading through all of it, so I'll stick it on the back burner. Sometimes, though, it becomes clear one or two sentences in that the guy is not the one for me, and thus I find no need to keep reading. My suggestion to everyone is to limit your opening messages to a paragraph or so. Don't burden the receiving party with a reading assignment, and don't waste your own time.
