The problem with that Gallahad even though it would be nice to get a reply just saying no thanks I do know that if a female or couple put a photo ad in they usually get swamped with replies and its bad enough reading them all never mind replying to them individually. So even though I agree with you in principle I can understand why we never get replies from females and couples.
I have a cool idea!
Mr webmaster dude in charge of SH: Please put a few extra buttons at the side of the inbox details for the email responses:
Button 1: No thanks, you're totally not what I/we are looking, p.s. you have been put on a block so you cannot respond to my Ads ever again.
Button 2: No thanks, you're not what I/we am looking for.
Button 3: You're response was interesting, but I'm swamped with reponses and may or may not be able to get back to you!
Button 4: Good god, where have you been all my life! Please come over to my house right now!
What do ya'll think of that???
I'm afraid this is going to go the same way as every other 'whinge' about non replies from ads - and that's to lock it. Don't take it personal, it's just we have people whinging about this all the time and there is absolutely diddly squat can be done about it - you just move on.
