The two phenomenon (receiving no problem responses and receiving many "I'm from" responses) are unrelated. When you don't get responses to questions, it's usually because people either don't see the question, or they don't know the answer. It's not because they typed 50 characters to identify their location then got too tired to type anything else. On the other hand, most people know where they live, so it's only natural that those responses outweigh anything else. Case in point: we've had several "lurkers" speak up to identify themselves. I've had several occasions where I posted problems and received no responses--it happens. But the cause is not other discussions. Now where are you from? Don't make me do an IP lookup--that would take away all the fun! Miark
