Because USENET is a give and take. It is not your personal
support
service where a pantheon of experts labor for your
pleasure.

It is certainly not this difficult on the Windows groups.
Since there is a difference there must be a reason for
the
difference. When I ask what is the reason for this
difference, the question is not at all rhetorical.

Perhaps you were less obnoxious on those groups. Perhaps
you had a
history of giving on those groups that excused your
taking. Perhaps
you were simply lucky.

(1) Yes, (2) No, (3) No

On all of the microsoft.public.* groups people either
directly answered the question asked or simply ignored the
question. In no case (of many hundreds of cases) was any
response ever even slightly disrespectful.
