@DrewDad,
No.
And, as I said, the admin people tend to come up to find out why you're not answering if you don't answer.
Actually, all my work-places have been like this...unless there was ONE admin person with a good brain and the ability to not get caught up in believing that it is the end of the world if you don't respond to everyone immediately.
Well, our lot cope if you are seeing another client, but appear to regard any other activity as just an excuse to not do the right thing.
