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.

> LouFriends,
Here is a link to a post by Dr. Hsiung where he writes something that IMO has the potential for one to think that by there not being a response to a notification that a non-response is out of the mission of the forum's TOS.
Dr. Hsiung wites,
[...Are you saying that you've notified us and nothing's happened? If so, please notify us again. Thanks....]
The generlly accepted understanding that one could get from Dr. Hsiung's statement here is that he wants to have a response to a notification, and to the notification that I sent, for he writes, notify us (my notification)again and uses the phrase,{and nothing's happened?}
The phrase,{are you saying} is generally understood to mean that the one using that expression is asking for clarification or in some cases to ask the person if they want to rule out what is the subject of the phrase {are you saying}.
Lou
