Diana, I feel that your complaint is most unfair. People at work may not even read their emails until the evenings, yet you expected to have an answer the same day! I usually don't know how to solve the problems people post, so remain quiet.
Ronni really puts a huge amount of time and effort into this list, which is why she finds it so exasperating that people don't do their own research. I often use google for queries, it's pretty intelligent when it comes to working out what I want to know. Professionals like ronni and Daniel are very responsive when it comes to helping people, and often follow up later if they have been too busy to respond on a particular day. Speaking as an older person myself I don't see why I can't be expected to do my own research rather than posting a question every time I get a little stuck. Susan.
