Take this into account:

people are not machines.  Sending email does not per se mean that a
person will respond the same day, let alone the same week.  People have
lives, both when at work and when at home.
You don't know their situation so labelling any 'accusations' against
their not responding never works.

If not answered within a week, send a small reminder.  If then still
not, then apply to someone else who can take care of it.

Sensible advice to anyone nowadays, at least IMHO.

On a related side note: what's with the rush anyway?  Life's too short
to spend constantly behind computers all day. ;)
