I am not sure that it is appropriate either - and I have never done so in the 
past.  I am here purely to volunteer.

Having said that - when someone sounds like a paying customer who expects 
their answer "now"  and "by phone" - I am conditioned like Pavlov's fabled 
dog to jump up and salute.  Heck, I have to pay for this beautiful home 
somehow!

If I have broken a rule here, then I apologize humbly - and further add my 
agreement to the rule that we are all volunteers here working from only the 
goodness of our souls.  

And sometimes volunteers don't jump and salute for free.  ;-)
