Can I Rant

Just have to get this off my chest if you know what I mean.
Thanks everyone for all your help,don't take me wrong.
This is a great place to hang out and talk can't wait till I know more so I can reply to some of the newbee "?s.And talk to you all with more Knowledge.
Right know I have been asking allot of ?'s and getting a few answers here and there which is great thanks for all your help.
When I post a reply sometimes it seems to me that you guys girls forget to come back and read what I have said,so I start a new post guess thats wrong as I know everyone does not have time to read every post.
And then it makes no sense at all I can understand that. So should I just post all my posts in my tank journal and then you guys,girls would see everything I am trying to do or learn and then you could get back to me?
Hopefully I will have my pc back by x-mas and be able to post pics.
Thanks Phil

Phil,
sorry your responses have been less that whats needed..
here are my tips to get the best responses.
1.) Make your questions clear and consice, the back with background info as needed.
2.) try to keep each post to a single question, having multiple questions in a single post usually leads to only one or a portion of questions getting answered
3.) as i alluded to above, feel free to pot as many individual posts per question.
4.) if you question has not been replied or responded to in 24 hours, then feel free to bump it. do do this, simply reply to your own post with something like " ^^BUMP^^ " this will drive the post back up and let others know that you are still looking for help
5.) if the simple bulbs doest work, you can reply to your own post restating your question, maybe people were having a hard time figuring out your question

again, i apologize for your less that perfect responses from our community, hopefully these tips will help you and anyone else get more help, as our community growths these things become more important..

Phil,

I can say that I really try to read every post. Some things, for instance plumbing, I rarely respond to because I don't know that much about them. But when I feel comfortable that I have knowledge to share I respond. If you don't get an answer to your question in a timely fashion don't be afraid to give your own post a

, no one will mind.

Because I usually sit down and click "New Posts" I tend to read everything no matter where it lives. Despite that, IMO when you have a question about a topic that has a specific forum section it is best to put it there. I think that makes it more likely that someone else with a similar question might find it just by browsing through the section.
