communication is a two way street. if you are getting a ton of requests like that, maybe your message is not clear for your audience or you are attracting the wrong audience. it would be easier to change your methods than the rest of the community.
like one member said above, why go through the trouble of writing up a message only to find out she is not available. my personal experience is that many providers are not the most responsive or organized including updating their showcase, info, etc.
this is the nature of client/customer service work. ranting is common and expected but directing it at your customer base is not recommended.

I am one of the rare that will never be a NCNS and if something happens at last minute...I will call or text you so you don't waste your gas and traffic getting too me. For those I see regularly, I go over and beyond and do give in a little if shorthanded on gifts.
As it was mentioned....This is a 2 way street. The hobbyist usually looks at reviews to see if the provider has a menu to his liking. Well, keep going further and actually go through a providers website if she has one or read her showcase fully. When you are at work...do you have all day going back and forth asking questions to a provider? Well, most likely, she doesn't have all day either as we would never be able to make appointments if we PM all day.
That's all I'm saying here.
