I agree that principle can sometimes be true. I have seen, by my interpretation, the pattern in responses to concerns here by adm, specifically Dr. Bob. Again, MY interpretation is: Some questions and/or concerns get responses and some are ignored. And yes, I believe there are issues that purposely get a nonresponse. I believe he responds only when it wants to respond. The reason for this can only be answered by Dr. Bob. Arguing that pattern COULD change is certainly something that could be argued. I have also seen a pattern that changes are very rare.I have not seen where the reminder policy is effective in achieving a response. Have you?
