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.

Mm, I think roughly this: chatty personal stuff I don't have a timescale expectation for, more organise-y or work/business related stuff I am more likely to.

(I get grumpy that it takes train companies upwards of a month to process one's refund request, which must be sent by post, for example; & if I emailed someone about an order with them or similar, I'd expect a reply within about 1-2 working days.)

I do fairly deliberately attempt to separate "practical urgent-ish stuff" from "chatty stuff", so that "are we still meeting up at 7pm?" doesn't get tangled up with a whole bunch of other things & thereby become harder to reply to.
