> However, I can't stop wondering whether it's really the content or how well posed a question is and not the names of the users that ask, which decides whether they receive an answer or not. I may return to this thread later with more examples.
The short answer is no. There is no organized effort to ignore certain users or respond to only certain questions. As Mathieu said, this is a community service. Responders are not merely Kitware employees but also members of the larger ParaView community. Despite everyone's best efforts, we cannot respond to all queries due to lack of time. As a result, emails that are a little complex to read, not clear what the issue could be etc. tend to go unreplied. Sometimes, it's just timing. For example, if emails show up on holidays, then by the time people get back to work a new slew of emails take up the inbox and older emails may get missed. Also, good way to get members to go the extra mile to help with your questions is participating in the mailing list yourself. Try responding to other users' questions, for example. Despite all this, I am sure emails will still sometimes go unanswered. We are all human with limited abilities and somethings will slip despite our best efforts.
