Right time to reply

A poll, to get some information for a future post (hopefully). Feel free to point other people here (though obviously they'll have to have an LJ account); this isn't Serious Research, but it would be nice to get a decent number of replies.

The expected response time on email varies with who/what I'm writing to. I was pleased but unsurprised to get a friendly, helpful reply to a tech support question from my ISP within three hours. I have an email correspondence with a turnaround time of about a day: I tend to email in the afternoon, he replies the next morning, repeat ad infinitum. I have another which goes days to weeks between message and reply. A lot of stuff with my boss gets an answer in a few minutes. Etc.
