I used to be a member of the Mac user group here in Seattle. Every  
Saturday morning, they hold a "Cafe" where users can get together for  
coffee and doughnuts, talk about Macs and people can bring in their  
machines and someone would help them install some software or debug a  
problem. I stopped going to these meetings because I myself never had  
time to socialize, people would want this or that installed. One  
time, a women who was being helped by another member castigated  
someone who dared ask a question of this guy while he was waiting for  
her hour-long software install to complete. "He's helping me!", she  
snapped.

You have to remember that people on this group (or any other group  
for that matter) are here because they choose to be, not because they  
are paid or are forced to. There may be reasons that people do not  
answer your question, they may be offline for a period of time, you  
posted your question on a Friday, and here it is Monday, quite a few  
people have lives on the weekend away from the internet. Maybe noone  
is sure of an answer or they just simply decide not to help for  
whatever reason. Pleading, or multiple posts for help don't engender  
sympathetic attitudes. Like an animal stuck in a tarpit, people may  
be inclined to just walk on by.

You mention that some people have alluded to having an answer, in  
that case, perhaps an email to that person would be in order.
