How about bribery :-)  I mean, DTS engineers eat lunch, right?  Maybe
if people in a hurry offered to take a DTS engineer to lunch, they
could get a quicker response.  The person with the question would
send the question, along with a proposed place of lunch, and DTS
could then set up a date.

For a question that's not very important, the questioner might offer
McDonalds.  For a more important question, Togos would be indicated.
As deadlines approach, we could move up to Jade Tree.

Ok, maybe it's a silly idea, but I live and work in Cupertino, and it
sometimes seems that I'm practically surrounded by Apple buildings.
There must be some way to use this to my advantage in deealing with DTS...
