Good points but I don't think they apply.
Busy? - seems to be about 2-8 'new posts' per day, so not very busy, and the question I asked was reasonable, but yeah, I'll plug away. Just seems disappointing when you get used to friendly forums.
Maybe that's what I'm missing. I'm on 2 bike forums, one saxophone one, and a car one, and probably because I'm well known on those always seem to engage in dialogue. Probably forgotten that newbies need to settle in a bit. Mind you, one "Hi and welcome here" would be nice.
Anyway, I'll keep plugging away, just makes you appreciate this one.
regards, Phil
