This refers to my post of approx. 10 hours ago, subject OEQB Problems:

I have read posts and advice in this and similar Newsgroups over the last
three years (and have posted to and received advice) and have been given
both advice and direction steering me to advancing my knowledge of Windows
and computer use.

For the most part I have found MVP's and other contributors to be helpful,
knowledgable, sympathetic, and courteous.

The advice, direction, links and information generously provided has been
beneficial to both myself, others who use these NG's, and those in my
situation whom I have directed to these same NG's.

Up until today.

Some 10 hours ago I posted a request for assistance. I made every effort to
make it a good post, giving a description of my problem, accurate record of
what occurred, my efforts to resolve the problem, and my results.

I did not post "HELPPPPPP!!!!!!", or "test", or "what is this".

I did post what my problem was, what I had done to cause it to occur, and
what I had attempted to try to correct it.

I do feel that the least you - with far more experience - (and who make a
point of reading and answering these posts for help) could have done was to
answer. Even to say you have no idea what is causing my problem would have
made me feel better about checking every ten minutes for an answer, with no
results.

My only condonation in this is that in my area of expertise I would never
treat another asking for advice in this manner.

As always

Thanks

I for one saw your post. It is not one that I felt that I had the knowledge
to answer sufficiently.

I do not like to reply to a post that I feel I will not be able to solve.
The reason for this is once someone replies, there is a box with a + sign in
front of it, [+].

This can result in people bypassing the post, thinking it was already
answered,

Thank you for responding. I do, and did realize that my query was regarding
a program propogated and freely offered by "Majik". I further appreciate the
effort he, you, and others put forth for the benefit of people like myself.
Our respect for you is there - unstated, but there. All I was looking for
was a response.

Thank you

Further to this and FYI I have a very large file in MY Docs. consisting of
directions, links, info and advice received from you and others that I can
refer to when I encounter a problem - rather than you have to repeat and
repeat the same advice. Unfortunately, I had nothing that dealt with my
problem. Also, when I read posts I tend to (as I expect you do ) read them
based upon the subject, rather than answered or not. Indeed, in my case I
get more benefit when one has been answered.

FWIW I also read your post but have not used the system you mention so at
best I could only guess at the possible problem and most likely give you
(and perhaps others who read archived posts) incorrect information.

As Bruce mentioned it is very difficult to read everything on here, and
seeing an answer already there will often lead one to miss that thread,
intending to come back later. Unfortunately later sometimes just doesn't
happen.

Most of the users who come here with problems are experiencing common
"Windows" or MS Software faults, since we all have the same software in that
regard it is often possible to make an educated guess however bad the post
is... unfortunately it's not so easy to guess with specific software and the
basic principle that I think most of us adhere to is to try and avoid giving
misleading information. To be honest I think your post simply arrived at a
bad time when the most knowledgeable about that particular system were not
around.

Another issue for me is that I normally end up at work for about 12 hours a
day. I don't like to make a reply and then perhaps leave the original poster
hanging around for ages waiting for a follow up. I suspect other MVPs feel
the same. It will most likely be 18 hours before I get back here...

I hope you can catch David, sorry I can't offer much help with the
problem...

Knock off making demands. Makes you look foolish. We don't work for you.
This is NOT some free avenue to access Microsoft support. This is a
community of users JUST LIKE YOU who volunteer their time to help others -
and you don't get make any demands of volunteers. If no one answered your
question then maybe no one who viewed it (and CHOSE to view it) had an
answer for you. Tough. Go find another related newsgroup or forum where
there might be another audience you can cull for a solution.

We don't work for you.
We don't work for Microsoft.
This is NOT an avenue to acquire free support from Microsoft.
This is a peer community of USERS.

Sorry, ~Robear. STOP what you're doing, and make sure the poor guy doesn't
have to check every 10 minutes for a reply. You are OBLIGATED to answer his
questions in a timely manner. That's what volunteers DO!

Some people have a lotta nerve, don't they?
