As someone who works with many French and Danish colleagues... If they didn't respond after 6pm ever, the turnaround for anything involving the west coast of the United States would be ridiculous. There would be no chance for any real-time communication. For example, I wake up, see email at 8:30am asking me to do something. Not all information is provided, so I fire an email back at 9am/6pm in France. Oops, too late. They don't respond til 10am their time, which happens to be 1am here, and I already fell asleep.
