No Reply

Hi everyone,
I’ve been out of the hobby for a few years and I’ve just started visiting this site and a few new ones. I’m amazed at the amount of no reply to my requests. Not just in our area but also in Tulsa and a couple other areas. I mean 95% of about 15 requests got no reply of any kind. The replies I did get just faded away, even up to the time of an appointment the reply just stopped. No reason for the no show. This activity didn’t ever run like a Swiss clock but the lack of commitment these days is frustrating to say the least.
I wonder who the 5% are who broke the code & responded to you.
What code. Contacting as directed in an ad?
