I responded because you asked me a direct question. I find it very rude on the part of the person I'm conversing with when I ask them a question and obtain no response. To be courteous, I always respond to questions directed specifically at me. Frankly, I don't give a damn if you want to comport yourself as a whiny irritant or not; that's your problem. This is how discussion on a discussion list is supposed to work: - Post information you think is of interest to the forum. - Comment on posts as you feel is appropriate. - If a question is posed, offer a response with a sensible answer if you have information to offer. - Discuss information presented if you have a question about it. - Thank people for their response if it has proven helpful. - If a question is directed specifically at you, respond. If the question is intended to bait you into a response, ignore it unless you want to continue the clever exchange. I don't think there's anything unusual or incomprehensible about that. I will continue apropos. Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
