I started casting my movie, I put an ad in Backstage West magazine and although the ad hasn't been printed in the paper version yet the online version has already generated a number of emails. So now I'm wondering about the etiquette.

I want to treat these people respectfully. Do I respond with a got your email, thanks for the interest, we're going to continue to accumulate headshots for awhile yet. Or is that just sort of assumed and the email might be misread as a "thanks but no thanks"?
