Feeling discouraged.

The simple truth of the matter is, this place is big enough and busy enough that a new post can be buried under three pages of other new posts in a single afternoon.

Plenty of times I've come here late in the day after not being on since this previous night, and found 4 pages of new posts to look through. Not everyone will take that time however.

It's simple:

You have a question ask it.....NOW don't expect 18 pages on your topic to help you when you have easily done a search to get the same answer.

People here are actually nice, even I am a nice guy compared to the other forums I'm on. We have a sticky and if the new person doesn't read it or do a search for the topic you have a thread of 3 pages that says SEARCH on every line.

As for your objective of getting most, if not all of your post responded to, you have succeed. I mean you could have just bumped it, instead of making a whole nother thread.
