G'day All,

When your in a Messenger conversation. What timeframe is socially
acceptable for responses?

I think within 30 seconds ... but I have a friend who seems to think 5
minutes plus is socially acceptable and considered a conversation.

Whereas I say 5 minutes is Rude and 30 seconds is the maximum time it should
take to respond.

So please tell me. What is the correct Messenger Etiquette?

Thanks
John
