Weblogger Jason Clarke rants about not getting a timely response to email. To him, the difference is between those who file their email in folders, and those who let email pile up in their inbox.
It is my experience that email "pilers" are infinitely more likely to ignore, miss, forget or otherwise have some sort of excuse for not replying to an email when a reply is expected. I consider Pilers to be rude.
Lifehacker happens to be a Filer, but there have got to be perfectly responsive Pilers out there. So, Pilers, defend yourselves. Got an efficient yet folder-less email response system? Tell Lifehacker about it.
