Maryrrf:

Not replying is not necessarily a negative response. Sometimes it means "I'm busy now" or "I forgot" or "I lost your stuff". Many is the time we have called someone after they promised to call and didn't only to hear "I'm glad you called".

Historically, we have gotten more than ten no's for every yes. Worse yet, it has taken an average of six phone calls to get either no or yes. This means we made more than sixty calls to get each gig. See rules 2 and 3 above.
