I know exactly how you feel; these past two months, I've had a hell of a time getting people from various companies to reply to emails/skypes.
Even worse, are ones who keep promising to provide 'x by y date' then who keep vanishing when 'y' comes and passes; they don't even bother making up excuses anymore for not delivering on time.
Then, I see those same people spending a lot of time posting on GFY or Facebook, for example. It may be on their own personal time, but not in the case of those posting here all day long everyday during their usual "work hours".
Those people/companies I simply blacklist; if they don't want new business, screw them.
I've always thought the majority of company reps were useless to begin with, but now the valuable ones are even fewer and further between - not like owners are any better at replying lately, either
