I was really interested to read that Job, and I can understand your frustration DejaVu - particularly when the contact is on a practical matter and needs an answer. If I'm getting a bit frustrated at a non-response from H, I have occasionally said - I'll do X, unless I hear from you by Y. That way, if he doesn't answer I already have a default position. I don't think that should be over-used, but it has occasionally been useful to me.

Job, at what point do you think the reluctance to be in contact changes?
