And I have known a couple of other folks who worked in home offices for Congressman. Their consensus is that there is a hierarchy of how much attention they pay to contacts:

1-A written letter is almost always in a file that the Congressman actually looks through
2-A phone call is logged and that basic "yes or no" is passed on
3-Comments left on the communications area of the Congressman's website is next
4-Anything that is a part of a bigger effort, such as form letters from an advocacy group, generally do not get much attention.
