Why so sensitive, guys? I, for one, didn't find it rude at all. He had
a problem that he reckoned must have been solved since presentations
are a common task. I understood it simply as a "bump" to see if anyone
out there knew the answer and hadn't gotten around to answering.

Granted, perhaps he should have waited longer, but it had already been
a week. Now, personally I'm a lazy slob, but I do know some good
people that organise their time well enough to find plenty of time in
between their chores to do things like respond to emails. For these
people, a week -- strewn with ten minute slots, perfect for answering
emails -- is a *long* time.

I find it a good rule for email communication to assume good faith.
Not so much for the sake of the poster, but rather for mine. ;-)

Cheers,
Martin
