Please do not top post. I have noticed that a few of the new members tend to ignore this simple list guideline. It makes it difficult to follow the thread. 2. You have realise this list is a volunteer effort. So a thread gets attention only if some member knows he/she can help, relates to the problem because they have faced it personally or takes interest in those matters. Often a thread stays unanswered for weeks and then an interested comes along with an answer. Sometimes there are no answers at all! As an example for the later you can take a look at this: <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.general/418517> What I'm getting at is: posting to the list does not guarantee a solution. This is the nature of a volunteer effort, and all of us live with that. If you feel a thread deserves more attention, the proper way to garner more attention is to post to the same thread with any updates you might have from your searches; if there are no updates, then you can just mention you are still stuck (as I did in the above example). I believe Tim was also trying to point this out. I hope this clears up any misunderstanding you might have had. Cheers, -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
