You may be pleasantly surprised to receive it from someone volunteering their time to work on a project, but it's arrogant and rude to *expect* service.
Sorry, but no. There's nothing arrogant nor rude about expecting someone to reply to your email. If this guy doesn't want to reply to people, he shouldn't have his email plastered all over the website, or at the very least he should include a disclaimer that he doesn't have time to reply to everyone. Its disapointing that anyone thinks its acceptable behavior to ignore emails. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ L.
