Might just be an example. 

I had a MISERABLY botched clone during our 11.5.6 implementation, and opened
an itar spelling out exactly what was wrong with my setup and exactly what
steps I had already taken...

And the EVER so helpful <DEEP SARCASM> analyst READ me the cloning white
paper at 3 am after an already 16 hour day (every single word that was on
the white paper).

It is often the way you phrase your itar, it is also (often) a matter of who
you get assigned.  

When sev-1s get routed to the UK, it is like they went into a black hole.
"oh yes, the analyst is in the next cubicle, she will call you back in 15
min or less".... an hour later... "oh, yes, the analyst just stepped out but
will be back in 5 min"... an hour later.... etc... etc

It got to be a game

BUT... 
I also got a few of the most amazingly helpful analysts.  Walk you through
things that aren't even 'exactly' connected to your tar... but things that
you might find if you... whatever...

Ryan -
   Sorry about the false send - laptop issues.
   I have found that quality is overall excellent, but a lot depends on how
you phrase your TAR. It is not unusual for you to get a first line person
until you can spell out the seriousness of your request.
   Offhand I would say that worrying about plan table locations sounds like
a trivial request.
