Abstract
A fixed portion (102) of a two-way messaging system transmits (502) a first message (400) including a value (408) indicative of a response probability desired from a portable subscriber unit (122). The portable subscriber unit receives (602) the first message and selects (614) between responding (616) and not responding to the first message, in a manner that satisfies the response probability.
