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.

I'm always pleased if I get a reply to an email eventually, except possibly when, like someone else commenting above, it's my dad driving me crazy.

Basically, I assume people are busy and forgetful, and I forgeivethem what I forgive in myself, almost always. I also assume that if it's a work issue and they want me to deal with something they have an investment in replying to me promptly and clearly. If they aren't timely then it isn't that important; if they aren't clear I ask them to clarify, and if they don't do that in a timely amnner it's their lookout.

Anger is something I always try to avoid; it is the opium of the mind and I have enough chattering malicious monkeys lurking in the background as it is.
