I think it's great. I'm just reiterating basically what you said above, that the question to answer ratio is low (regardless of the reason, which is a very good reason). Just makes things stressful. > Do not assume that any given post is guaranteed to get answers, > particularly in the six-and-a-half hours (Apr 16, 4:26 pm to Apr 16, 10:55 > pm) between when you asked your question your last followup. > > In other words, chill out, dude. :-) It's not just the one post. It's the overall pattern of genuinely trying to figure something one responsibly on my own, reading a lot of different sources for a long time, eventually giving up and actually asking for help, and then getting what was in effect a brush-off answer that really didn't help me. Maybe she was busy, I don't know, but there's no denying it didn't help me, and after I had already put in the time on the other source. You have to consider the fruitless searching that preceded eventually asking for help...but in addition, I take your point. Noted. At any rate, thank you very much for the response.
