Even if that return is to say only that I received the message and I'll get back with more details later.
"Busy" is a reason for delay, not for never returning a call.

 | Jed1000 (72) 06/27/2007 | Best reason there is. In fact it's dealing with large volumes of e-mails, e-messages, voicemails, and handwritten messages that will make you busy. Time constraints can't be denied. The old rules of etiquette required answering all communications - and I sympathize with that view - but it just isn't possible given the reality of the situation today. Hopefully the senders understand that.

 | MissPackRat4Jesus (38) 06/26/2007 | Depends on what one calls "busy". Actually, if one isn't careful, using this line can become an excuse, even for one who really is busy. I'm busy, yet I try to work it into my schedule to tend to my messages, be it phone, E-mail, or whatever. I believe it is only right.
