So the first time I check I see the hello, then next time I check I see what they actually wanted to say doubling the amount of time until they got a response compared to asking in one go" But why is that your problem to be infuriated about? If they weren't bothered by doubling the time to a response, why should you be? And if they are ... why should you be?
