No, but like I already stated someplace else:

1) Most projects are done by people on a volunteer basis
2) They cannot dedicate full-time work on that project, unless it
   happens to coincides with their normal work
3) Obviously, you cannot control their time

Some projects are fast to respond, others aren't.  In this particular
case, my experiences with Tom have been good, he has always answered my
mails within normal response time.  In my case, a few weeks.
