It's also a busy list, so the people who DO know about your problem might not be looking, or might miss your particular cry for help if it was one of 87 messages that came through in the same half hour. Some of them actually work for a living. :-) Also, the people who might happen to have knowledge that you need might be in a distant timezone. So, even though it adds to congestion, it might be best to repeat a request at different times of day. Also, also, (and again, due to volume) many people will screen according to the "Subject:" line. If you re-post with different wording in the "Subject:" and maybe also different emphasis in your explanation of the problem, it might trigger the ole recognition circuits in somebody who just blinked the first (ten) time(s). <g> /kevin On Fri, 2002-03-22 at 00:34, deadwill@cryogen.com wrote:
Don't get discouraged. I've run through the same thing. Sometimes people can help and sometimes they can't. Usually, in an attempt to save us all the useless mail, nobody replies that they can not help. Just repost later and maybe someone who has the answer, or knows where to find it can help. This is an incredible list and it does take a while some times to get an answer that helps. Good things come to those that wait. The rest of us just sit back and learn as the questions/answers go by.
