Your feedback has been received, logged and given the full consideration it deserves, which took 3.6 seconds. I nod at the right moments. I say 'great point' with real warmth. I write it down with a pen that stopped working in 2022. The new filing system, the email about kitchen etiquette, my aunt's opinion on my haircut: all handled with the same professional care. A funny sarcastic shirt for anyone fluent in polite acknowledgment and nothing beyond it. Your idea is on a sticky note, face down, under my coffee.
THE FINE PRINT
DULY over a much larger IGNORED in heavy serif capitals, and down at the lower right a small wire-mesh wastebasket with a crumpled paper ball dropping in, three motion lines behind it. One ink, distressed with specks and hairline cracks. No full stop.

ASKING FOR A FRIEND
What does duly noted mean?
Duly noted means a comment or request has been properly received and acknowledged. It is formal, a little stiff, and common in business email, where it can sound polite or dismissive depending on tone. It promises that someone heard you. It has never promised anything else.
How to respond to unsolicited advice?
Keep it short and neutral: thank the person, say you will think about it, and change the subject. You do not owe a debate or an explanation, and a calm 'thanks, I've got it handled' ends most of these conversations. What you do with the advice afterward is entirely your business, and it can be very quick.
Is it rude to ignore someone?
Usually, yes: ignoring a direct greeting or question tends to read as dismissive, and a brief, polite reply costs little. It is different with repeated unwanted contact, pushy sales calls or someone who will not take no for an answer; there, not engaging is a reasonable boundary. The polite middle ground is to acknowledge them warmly and change nothing.
