I sent Stafford an email to direct him to this thread but he is having problems navigating the GR system.I will send another one and hopefully he will see the thread himself.

I haven't even had an acknowledgment of the PM's I sent .........................

Freewheel Report 3 Nov 2009 15:40

Not sure whether Stafford actually wants this info - still haven't had the courtesy of a response to the PM I sent with BMD info.

Why do people ask if they aren't really interested?

Thank you Freewheel - so there is this thread as well as the 2 started today!!

As you say, it seems the info is unwanted so no point in doing any further work.

I have sent PM advising Stafford that his failure to respond to help given is not appreciated

I guess Stafford doesn't know how to add to his / her threads!

Dea

Dea Report 12 Nov 2009 12:22

I have sent him/her a pm with details of how to find the threads and how to reply on them.

Hopefully, he/she will return?

Freewheel Report 12 Nov 2009 12:33

Not knowing how to add to threads does not excuse the failure to acknowledge the bmd info sent by PM............it isn't too hard to spot the reply button on a message

Dea

Dea Report 12 Nov 2009 12:36

I agree Fran,

At least we will know that if we don't get a response now that it is not worth helping further.

I will wait and check to see when my message has been read. If no contact after that I will give up.

Just had a pm from him, do not think he knows his way around the boards yet, will just tell him how to come back to his threads.
