Or perhaps they are too busy to read your email. Or perhaps the spam system ate it. Or perhaps it never got there (yet). Or perhaps they are trying to contact someone else before responding to you. Or they did respond, but _their_ message got lost or delayed or eaten somewhere. Or perhaps they really are just ignoring you! Summary: you cannot infer anything useful from a lack of response, other than the fact that you haven't received a response. If it is important, use the telephone.
