OK, lets see if you will answer.

How long must he wait for BA to do anything?

2 hours?

12 hours?

2 days?

3 weeks?

At what point will you concede that BA is not doing anything?

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.

The answer is however long he wants as long as he is willing to pay
himself. Any court is going to look at the circumstances of what
occurred and say you have to wait as long as it takes given those.
