Phil, there really is no excuse for not answering emails, even when you're on holidays. I regularly check my email while I'm travelling, I even do remote programming work, it's simple in this day and age. You can travel the world with something like an ASUS eeePC for a cost of around $500, you don't even need internet access, it's often possible to find free access points or to "sniff" an unsecured network and check your mail.
At the end of the day it's a judgement call, If I don't get an answer I choose to go elsewhere.
