Mr. Crocker was one of the person's that asked me to provide more specifics, and then did not respond when I provided them. I can accept the fact of non-responses to posts (it is the norm for things like USENET and other electronic forums), but when someone asks (especially to an individual) for specific suggestions about something, I expect to receive some form of acknowledgement (positive or negative). Failure to provide an acknowledgement sets precedence that can discourage others from spending time providing information when explicitly requested. Why should someone spend their valuable time to formulate responses to explicit requests when such responses may never get acknowledged? Is the time of the requestor supposed to more valuable than that of the requestee?
