This is good advice, for the people who tends to ask to ask, or surround their questions with bunch of fluff.
On the other hand, is you, the question-receiver. The example starts with "CO-WORKER WAITS WHILE YOU PHRASE YOUR QUESTION" but that's not how I usually deal with these types of conversations.
If someone just writes "Hi" to me without something else and I'm busy, I won't reply until there is more messages, and instead continue with my work.
Although, ideally there would be no "Hi" messages. But, not everything goes as we want it to.
