Some questions are time relevant. I need an answer before x, unless y, if z. I don't want to write all the caveats every unnecessary time. Then how long do I sit around in case you certainly, maybe, probably, possibly got it?
Since texts and earliest days of ICQ just about everyone I know opens with ping, answer with ack or nack / silence. Super easy to decide whether to even ask... :)
Well in general it's always a nack when I get that kind of message. I don't want to be pressured into starting a synchronous conversation if I don't know what the conversation is going to be about.
