I think there's something to that. I am not very friendly with my reviewers.
I'm here to do a job, not make friends. If I have a question, I ask (if they
have time, and if so, the question) and leave. If I've given something out
for review and haven't heard back in a reasonable amount of time, I nag.
Obviously if someone is truly slammed, I respect that and find ways to get
my questions answered being a bother. I try not to waste anyone's time and I
expect the same. So far, most everyone seems ok with that. Where I have a
hard time is getting stuff reviewed by higher management, but I just work
around them. If they don't like what I've done and haven't reviewed it, they
can deal with it or fire me. I don't really care, but I won't nag them.
