I've been a BR roomie for almost 3 1/2 years now and although a great majority of the roomies in here are very good about answering/replying to PMs, threads and emails, there are some that you just DON'T want to "hold your breath" waiting for an answer back from .
 I've posted a "rant" about this within the past few months and had hoped that the roomies that fall into this category would kinda get the message and realize that communication is a 2-way street and whenever a potential deal starts up, it's not over until both sides have talked it over and both fully agree to "Deal or No Deal" ... simply NOT responding and leaving the deal open and the other roomie "hanging" is just plain rude and inconsiderate.
 If any of you read this and agree, please feel free to add a thread with your thoughts and/or the name or names of anyone that you have had negative experiences with. Thanx for your time and for "listening" !!!

I'll be happy to throw in my 2 cents;

I realize that not everyone spends a large portion of their day on BR, but I don't think it is asking too much to make it part of your daily routine to check your messages.  You check your email every day, right?  Might as well check for any important messages here too.

I have been lucky to do deals with GREAT users here, including Robb.  I have had a couple that, while the transaction went through, it was like pulling teeth to get a response at times.

I recommend not subjecting your reputation to criticism whenever possible.  Do this by not getting involved in deals if you are too busy to provide communication within 24 hours.  I consider you a "poor communicator" if it takes you more than 48 hrs. to respond to a PM.

If you know you are busy but want to do a deal anyway, be up front that you may not be able to respond promptly for whatever reason.  It sucks to be on one side of the country wondering what So-and-so is doing on the other side of the country.

I have always made it a point to be DOUBLY on top of it with communication, as my feedback will reflect.  I do this to avoid even the HINT of a bad deal; I want anyone I deal with to be DELIGHTED!  Is it too much to ask to expect the same in return?
