Preferences and intentions regarding contacts with other members

What is your preference regarding other members responding when you contact them?
I strongly prefer to hear from all.
I prefer a response from all, but I understand that not everyone gets around to replying.
I'm happy to let the recipient decide whether to respond and won't mind either way.
I would prefer not to receive negative responses; I will assume a non-response means "no thanks".
(no answer to this question)

What are your intentions regarding responding to other members who have contacted you?
I will reply to all.
I will try to reply to all.
I would like to reply to all, but I'm afraid my track record is not very good.
I will reply only when I desire further contact (a non-response from me will indicate "thanks, but no thanks").
