I'm with you. I thank every recruiter who calls, and actively look for 1 or 2 leads that may help them.
Yes, there are awful recruiters out there, but there are plenty of good ones just working hard for a living. What goes around comes around, and helping them will increase the chance of getting that incoming call when you need it most.
The last point is when I need to sell something, I'd much rather hear, "Thanks, I'm not interested, but X or Y may be" than get hung up on, or disrespected.
