Thank you Gargji and others. I will try and reply emails as I get time.
I totally agree with you Gargji, we need to gear up to reply all the id queries. I do not know how we can do the tracking of these messages. I like the way you forward the emails again if they are not identified for a week or so. But everyone does not have that persistence, so we as a group needs some mechanism. Any members have any ides which we could implement as group do achieve this 100% response ? Regards, Vijay On Wed, Oct 6, 2010 at 12:22 AM, J.M.
