From Greg Lehey's "How to get best results from FreeBSD-questions."
" 1. Remember that nobody gets paid for answering a FreeBSD
question. They do it of their own free will. You can influence
this free will positively by submitting a well-formulated
question supplying as much relevant information as possible. You
can influence this free will negatively by submitting an
incomplete, illegible, or rude question. It's perfectly possible
to send a message to FreeBSD-questions and not get an answer
even if you follow these rules.
...
7. If you do all this, and you still don't get an answer, there
could be other reasons. For example, the problem is so
complicated that nobody knows the answer, or the person who does
know the answer was offline. If you don't get an answer after,
say, a week, it might help to re-send the message. If you don't
get an answer to your second message, though, you're probably not
going to get one from this forum. Resending the same message
again and again will only make you unpopular."
I myself have often been frustrated by people not answering questions, but
that's life. FreeBSD still has the best tech support I've seen, commercial
product or no. (You should have seen me trying to explain what a
horizontal refresh rate was to the support staff at Chembook, for example.
*sigh*)
