It can take them weeks for a trivial question.
Apparently their web support dept is understaffed.
IOW, the company is too big.

Which causes lost design-ins. Busy engineers move on when companies 
think this is isn't their problem.

In consequence, my design-in rate for certain companies has gone from 
two-digit percentages to the low single digits. For some reason most of 
them are in Europe....

on the market with much better support (o;

If you work through a distributor I wouldn't give up yet but rattle the 
cage there. Big time. That has sometimes worked wonders.

Yes, there certainly are. And it can't hurt to mention that.
