I do apologize for this and maybe I am wrong but when you post something asking for advice or whatever does it irk you that no one bloody answers?! Alot of people look and then that is it. Its happened to me a few times and i don't know if i am hurt or just offended. of course some that read this may not respond and that is fine. but what do you think? some probably may thing this is stupid and say their oppinion and that is fine. others will agree. that is cool too. okay, i'm done.
Asking for advice does not make a reader duty bound to offer it. Some forlks may not have the expertise to be of much help, others may just not be comfortable doling out wisdom to strangers. People are not duty bound to respond to every post they read. You may need to cultivate patience and look in more directions to get the advice you need.
I definiitely see your irritation but i must say, for a long time i was just a lurker on these forums and rarely posted anything. im guessing theres a lot of those types. i dont know what changed... i must have grown some forum-posting balls or something
