I think it is sometimes just a sign of the times, and can be very annoying if you have taken time to find info or whatever for your reply. However very many people do reply and some tell you the outcome to their prob ,and that is a double bonus if you think you may have helped them.
On the other hand, there are always people who choose not to acknowledge what others have to say , if it doesn't agree with their already formed view point.
And finally there are always the ill mannered and basically ignorant .
A cross section of life I think.
Don't let what has happened stop you from posting , your answers have probably reached more people than you know , not just the original poster. Brenda.
