Perhaps, you've not been reading the board. We've thoroughly discussed that to death.
I receive a reply from Patrick Downs immediately the day after I send an email.
A word of advice. CEOs never respond to emails that are not properly worded. For example, don't ask obvious questions, don't ask questions he's not legally able to answer, don't be rude, don't give a threatening tone.
He's under no obligation to reply to you. If you've already screwed up and made one of the mistakes I listed, I would advise you to wait for a day to pass, create a new alias with a different email account and ask him the similar question.
My point, you have to ask THE RIGHT WAY. I get a response every time the next day. I'm 3 for 3. But I know how to ask properly and word it correctly.
