Non-members can read and reply to emails?

This takes away from the effort one would put (paying a subscription) therefore overall reducing the quality of the site. I've recognized I get multiple flirts from any one member at a time, but no email. WHY? they are not paying members, and may really like my profile but if he cannot dish out $19.95 for the first date (cost for a one month subsciption) then what is the use? Those who take the time to initiate an email to me, I always out of courtesy, reply, whether I am interested or not.

Pros
White guys truly seeking to meet females of a different race...not experimenting. And I am genuinely attracted to them.

Cons
Non-members able to read an reply to emails...This should be changed...to READ but not able to REPLY...that would give more incentive to the recipient to become a paying member...after all that is revenue right? I've suspended my paid membership due to this flaw.
