from what I know it doesnt really work that way, basically people have lives and like living them, if someone sees your message and can instantly fire off a reply, you'll most likely get one, but sometimes your question can be answerable by only a certain few people, who might not read your message, cause you have to consider maybe they get 1000 emails a day, you think in the noise, your singular message will get read? so basically, you have to fire off your message and HOPE it hits A TARGET, SOMEWHERE, it's a long shot, but tahts just the way I play the game, you could go onto IRC and find someone to help you in real time terms, that's always better sometimes than posting to groups, cause you'll have a limited audience and if your question is mildly interesting, you'll get a reply too chris On 7/29/05, Jonathan Hayward <christos.jonathan.hayward@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Have I broken a social rule?
