I keep seeing this and wonder why some people post a request for help, get several well thought out suggestions (that have taken some of us time to compose) and then never come back?
At least they never post a reply to their original request letting us know that they have seen and read our suggestions. I think this happens far more than it should. I think that most of us are not looking for even a Thank You, but would at least like to know that our help was even seen!

I'd like to think they are busy checking out the suggestions...
or maybe they have ADD...

Well, I hope they got what they were looking for.
I asked for help on a TM-731a issue and when I found it on my own after a few days I did a reply that I figured it out.

Maybe they've been flamed to death.
I wouldn't come back to a discussion after some of the snotty responses I've seen by people supposedly offering help.

Well, the ones I am talking about have several helpful tips and NONE of them are "snotty". I would give example(s), but I do not want to single anyone out.

I agree that feedback from the originator would be very helpful.

One guess is a person might post the same question on different forum websites and either got his answwer elsewhere or forget to check them all.
I guess that would be a "trot line." hihi
Or the person has so many questions that he posts several at a time, and forgets how many he posted.
In any case, it would be courteous for the OP to post a response, a thanks, argument or a follow up question.

Yes, I agree. Also some say thanks and do not indicate which of the suggestions helped. However, just saying thanks at least shows he read the reply(s).

I expect some do not hang out on the forums. They have a question, they post it, and when they get it fixed they are off to other things.
Come to think of it - they may be smarter than the rest of us :-)

Zed,
It was not intended to be a "funny" comment.
Maybe it was insensitive, but I meant it seriously.
Sorry for any offense it may have presented.

I have ADD and do not find this thread offensive.
Oh, I'd say more but I just realized I need to
watch the latest episode of LOST.
Out of time.

Maybe not, but it is nearly 6 months old!
