[Stargate] Report from GOOFS at RT

[Seneschal of Stargate]

I would like to further support #12 on the list.  Email is great and very
handy, but not always 100% reliable.  If you email someone and don't get a
response in a day or two, follow up with the person by phone.  Maybe their
spam filter ate your email.  Maybe it went to an email address they don't
use anymore/often.  Who knows?  If it's important, quite often I'll include
in the email, "If I don't hear back from you by (set a deadline), I'll
follow up with a phone call."  And remember to be realistic in your time
table.  Not everyone checks email all day long, or every day.  If you need a
reply fast, go for the phone first. :)

In service,
Alden
