[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6632030, member: 8835"] If it was something as simple as "we're on our way" then yes, a txt to a friend who is expecting you to come over is efficient. I get questions like "Where's the Report object in the .EDMX, it's missing" which the answer is: it's not in EnityFramework, it's in the NORM class library project. The page you're looking at was out of spec and not supposed to be using Entity Framework... and so on... typing all that techno babble is faster in an email on a keyboard or phone so I can get the context that the developer was really looking at the wrong code-base and about to do work in the wrong order. Additionally, if my phone beeps or rings, I feel the Pavlovian compulsion to respond. So, yes, there is a expectation to respond and reply ASAP. Some people even get snitty about not getting a timely response and blow up your phone trying to get you to respond. hence the phrase "blowing up my phone" relating to the slew of incoming calls/texts trying to reach you.
