The exact time probably doesn't matter.  I think there are two cases:
either the OP (or anyone else) is going to respond within a couple days
or not at all, or they will respond after they get back from
vacation...so 14 days probably covers most people's vacations, and
a month ought to cover just about everyone :)

For some reason I can't articulate, though, I like 14 days.
