Mel..I think you're being a bit harsh.I've been at this lark for ages and it sometimes takes days for genuine people to acknowledge your work......the sort of queries that i sort out in Derbyshire can't be found in five monutes, and sometimes not five days.so why should an enquirer sit there waiting for an answer that may not come.........Most people are aware of the work involved, and it would pretty arrognat of them to think they're going to get an answer in minutes!1

As long as they Bookmark their enquiry and come back when they can..that's fine by me..............It's when they never come back that bugs me!!

Happens all the time. I reckon only 1 in 5 of my replies are acknowledged by the OP, so I don't know if the info posted was what they where looking for or not. Quite often there is plenty more info to be had, but I these days I won't post until I know its relevant.

Don't you just love it when people don't stay with their postings. I have been trying to help people all day as I am stuck indoors and the only one that has replied to me is Lorri.
