Just because I reply immediately does not mean I expect a response immediately. If someone emails me when I'm able to immediately respond, I'll sometimes get the response out of the way right then. But email is asynchronous. I don't get mad if I respond immediately but then I don't hear back for quit awhile.

Exactly this.

I think the people I work with regularly eventually figure this out when they see my reply times varying from 3 seconds to two weeks lol
