Some people will eventually understand that they're wasting your time (when they clearly have something they want) by waiting for you to answer (and effectively have to wait on them) before they respond with what the ask is when you could have just answered it the first time.
Those people are just as bad as the ones who just send "hey, can I ask you a question?" and then nothing else until you acknowledge them.
