I've had a similar experience. It is kinda satisfying to tell those folks thanks, but you simply don't have time for their call.

Valley VCs shop for very particular people, and behaviorally, are perfectly fine ignoring good ideas if the body in front of them (when young) didn't go to Stanford or (when older) doesn't care about some of the same things.

Just ignore them, they're increasingly unnecessary.
