I apologize to all, first :) I think I've been replying personally to the people on the list, instead of sending a reply-all. Sorry. Now, I don't want to bring this up again, but I have a question that relates. Only mine has to do with RUDE REQUESTS. I have sent email to a couple of lists, and received no acknowledgement whatsoever that anyone out there sees them. I see other requests being responded to immediately, and wonder if I sound rude or unappreciative or if no one has any information to help me. (This has not occured on this list) This may sound silly, but like Cheryl's mom, I've come pretty close to crying over this. I've hit dead ends everywhere, and then I feel like I'm being ignored. Should I just assume no one can help there and go on to another resource? Is there some sort of netiquette I'm missing? I've thanked the lists in advance (maybe that's the wrong part), but seen responses to messages that are one liners with no thanks. I'd appreciate it if someone could clue me in on how to ask for information :) I know this is probably not the list to ask this sort of question, but it's been a topic so, I thought I'd try.
