Is it the done thing to ignore questions in emails?

When I email people to ask them questions, they quite often don’t reply, or sometimes when I ask two, or three questions, but they’ll only answer one. Is this normal? My friend thinks it is, I think it’s rude, annoying and unprofessional. Who is right?!

I think ignoring any bit of an email is rude. It is there for a reason. If it won't be answered, it needs to be stated. That is the etiquette.
Most people will not follow this.
And sometimes, I do not follow it either. Especially with people who repeatedly do that with me.

@Looking I have SO been there! You need decisions or info to keep your job moving and you get blown off. Then later, it's "What is taking you so long?" From the same people. 😤
