Day of the post - innocently naive and thrilled with the prospects of social interaction.
Next day - hopeful but aware the forum is busy.
Week 1 - getting a little impatient but still committed.
Week 2 - Man! Someone that posted after me already got a reply. Week 3 - Why doesn't anyone like me?!
Week 4 - Screw'em all!! Who needs this kind of rejection!!
Beyond - Posting to one's self (essentially the same as talking to ones self). Laughing at my own little witicisms...

ahas,
not trying to offer an EXCUSE for anyone,
because one isn't necessary,
they are just SWAMPED!!!
.
AND, in that this WHOLE forum,
is made up of VOLUNTEERS who choose to WANT to help others,
a lot of the VOLUNTEERS here,
USED to help removing mal- / spyware, viruses, etc,
BUT THEN,
someone raised all kinds of 'holy-tomatoes'
'you messed up my pc'
so the policies-&-procedures were changed,
NOW, you have to attend mru BEFORE you can help in that particular aspect,,
the only problem there???
not enough people WANT to deal with the TIME it takes to go to mru,
so...........
YOU could VOLUNTEER to do that,
then there would be one MORE to help,
.
just a fact,
NOT wanting to start a 'flame-war' here,
and this may not make you feel real good,
but it was YOUR CHOSEN path to surf WHERE you did,
.
in particular, this stuff:
itunes, quicktime, google update, messenger, fwlink, google notifier, siteblocker, google software updater,
sure ISN'T on MY pc,
your pc, your choice,
.
some reading here maybe?
