Hi Tony, I don't know that that would imply readability. If I saw continue in a conditional, I would look at the surrounding loop for implications of that statement. A continue statement is a statement--it is not really equivalent to the "no response needed" situation. You may wish to re-analyse your specification, because it sounds like you do see a need for a default response. The empty statement block is a highly communicative comment in the C/C++ argot. It was used in K&R and has a time-honored meaning. Works just as well in Perl, if you want an else block at all, but see no implications for program flow arising from the else case.
