No I don't think one has to acknowledge what one received.
I included it to illustrate what I did observe going wrong due to other causes.
I DO think that one should "acknowledge" ie include the other stations call

Skipping sending a signal report as in "PA PA BK" - I do believe is not in 
conformance with the rules.
Leaving out the callers callsign is at least a dubious practice IMHO.
