the porpuse of "Do not send a response" in meeting inviattions

[mcfb]

What is the porpuse of the "Do not send a response" option when working with
meeting invitations? It seems to do whatever option
(Accept/Tentative/Decline) you pick but not inform the manager of the
meeting. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of replying? I'm new to Outlook
and trying all the different options.

I use that option when inviting a resource to a meeting and when I am sending the invite to my home Outlook.

It is for things you don't need notified about. I use it to add
appointments to my husbands calendar. It's not an appointment with me so a
response is pointless - he just needs it in the calendar as a reminder. In a
corp environment it could be used to add reminders to calendars for events
that don't need a response for attendance, like a free lunch day.
