Sometimes I intentionally don't reply to e-mails, and then that causes the person to get all pissed off and fired up. More often than not I will write the person back to say "Not interested" in a polite way. But sometimes I just don't get around to or feel like it.

I had one person send me a bunch of messages with nothing but "hey". About 8 of those e-mails. No info as to who they were, why they were e-mailing, or anything. Finally they sent a poorly composed, angry e-mail wondering why I'd not responded.

Other affiliates I might not respond to:

- One that, when checking on their site, I find to be running a questionable operation (shady content on the site, stolen content, inappropriate host, so on)
- Unproven, unknown affiliates making unreasonable requests or demands

Another thing I hate is when I do respond right away, but they don't receive it and get all uppity and angry, only to find out my responses had gone in to their spam folder or they'd forgotten what e-mail address they messaged e from so were checking the wrong one, so forth. hehe.
