Alex.
It's harder (IMO) to write an interesting reply to a review, especially a short one, than it is to write a review. I suppose a string of "Thanks for taking the time to read and review my story!" replies is courteous, but, personally I'm not bothered if the author doesn't reply to a run-of-the-mill review. Occasionally, I'll write a more expansive time-consuming review, though, and in those cases it is nice to get a thoughtful reply.
