Do you respond to emails from your upline sponsor?

Hi, I send out welcome letters to my referrals but I don't expect to hear back. They just joined and I am introducing myself and thanking then. Since I am the referrer, I see it as my responsibility to maintain contact, not the other way around. Of course, it is nice and a pleasant surprise when it happens, but I really don't expect it. It seems today, with all this lightning fast technology, people are just busier than ever. Cell phone in one hand, ipod in another, etc., etc. I don't think people are even intentionally rude, just you don't hear so much about social graces as in time past, anybody remember Miss Manners? I can say I am surprised by the number of people who do not email me when I join THEIR programs. Actually, I feel like it is a pat on my back when it happens - I'm going an extra mile compared to them and I believe it will show up in my stats.

Sometime I am the email response but iam hesitating my upline instead doesn't care so I only answer the need its

I have only had one referral sign up under me and I sent them a welcome email which was standard, copied and pasted from the website. I haven't heard from the referral and they do not seem to be active on the site.

I used to welcome them all but as you say with no replies especially on the downline club type of sites. However there is one site wherei welcomed each and every one of my down-line that had their addy visible and something made this site different from the rest because of 21 mails sent I had 14 replies! I am still in contact with some of them and not just to talk about earning. On the same site my upline always informs of updates and at first I replied. Now we have a more friendly contact so I don't always reply as we seem to be in touch so often anyway regarding things other than that site. I feel lots just join and then give up and all our efforts to contact them probably end up in the spam box;(
