If I am stuck on something, and that something is in your realm, either for understanding or providing, then I might be stuck and unproductive until you answer.

If I am stuck on something, and that something is in your realm, either for understanding or providing, then I might be stuck and unproductive until you answer. e.g. I send you a message - I am trying to use 'xyzzy' which you provide. When I send it 'plover' I do not get back the response I need. Am I doing something wrong? <crickets for 3 days> WTF why can he not respond in a reasonable time frame? 1) on vacation, 2) sick in bed 3) over worked 4) a jerk 5) missed my email. In an office I can walk over and say WTF? Where I will easily find the new person who took his place, since he moved on to another job.
