I'm not sure I completely agree with stripes and pursuing in this particular case, but I can understand where it would work in many other situations. I don't know if you can COMPLETELY ignore someone like MsLF32. She's got a history of trying to set you up for something, so in some cases, a polite sentence or two acknowledging her communication, thanking her for taking the time to write, and then advising that you are already taking steps to care for your daughter, will take some of the wind out her sales.
If you ignore her or simply initial, you will be accused of being non-communicative. Gushing a thank you and advising her that you do indeed agree and practice the steps that she outlined will take some of the wind out of her sales.
Sometimes you just have to be almost smarmy in your replies. My ex sometimes uses passive-aggressive insults, to which I cheerily and deliberately misinterpret to be praise from her. It is surprisingly effective in dealing with conflict seekers.
