This is exactly what I was talking about. If the first contact is only a rate inquiry with no introduction or any amplifying information as to what you want.
Also… “rude can be a synonym for tacky, both words can describe something as embarrassing or distasteful. For example, tacky clothes can be inexpensive but flashy and showy, and tacky comments can be tasteless, rude, and trashy”
So thanks for proving my point
