Just try again and don't take it personally. That's what I've done for
years. As a last resort, write Hans, Taco or whoever is most relevant to
your question directly and say, "I've posted this to the list a couple of
times and have not goten an answer yet. Could you take a look?"
Key: politeness and persistence :-)
The developers are very busy, well, developing. Be patient with them.
The flow of development/"high level" messages (that I do not
understand) is important, too important for me to see and possibly try
to answer most end-users questions. Perhaps it would be time to split
this mailing-list in 2 parts, one really for users and the other for
developpers, beta testers, package programmers, etc.
That has already been done ;-) But understand that ConTeXt is a HUGE
system, and hardly anyone understands it all.
Of course, the drawback of doing this is that the gurus will not be
interested in following the users' list and will be kept busy with other
lists, so they will not be present to enlighten beginners.
In my experience this is simply not the case. One could create at least
one book out of, say, Wolfgang's answers to newbies and users in general
[actually, that might not be such a bad idea].
