		<description>Interesting post young man, however it only tells half of the story. You have to take into consideration that some of us lot that have real jobs ;)

By this I mean I don't pick up the phone because I am busy in work, on a voice conference or I am in a meeting, not because I'm a hermit, far from it infact :)

My mobile phone provider are really on the ball and have provided me with a utility called a Voice Messaging Service however for some reason, people choose not to leave messages on my mobile.

As for the 9-5pm contact, obviously I couldn't disagree further. I would much prefer to be called outside of these hours (well after 5pm anyway, never before 9am).

Its a tough one to call considering the industry we are in. Maybe each network should add the utility for you to specify how you prefer to be contacted (phone, email, msn etc) and also what times are best. They already provide pages for all our contact details, bank details etc, so it wouldn't be such a big change.</description>

		<description>Following on from Ed above, a lot of the appeal to me of affiliate marketing is that I can do it Martini style anywhere anytime. But that doesn't mean I want to be available anytime anywhere. Email and IM are far preferable means of communications. I can pick up messages when it suits me. If you really want to chat send me an email to arrange a convenient time.</description>

		<description>Hi Kieron,

Great point at number 1, nice to hear some other affiliates are as shy and reserved as me. I would HATE to get a cocky affiliate manager ringing me going for the hard sell! 

I have run my own e-commerce site communications purely by email and always have, I wouldn't have it any other way.

Great post
Ed</description>
