AND THEN WE WILL ACCEPT YOUR APOLOGY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, we all suffer from the same frustrations as you appear to 
have here from time to time, but you would do well to remember a few things:

1. Google has a very long memory. You may cringe when you see this 
thread in five years.

2. There *are* accepted standards of behavior in most newsgroups, and 
because they are usually community-defined it's as well to take a lead 
form the natives, and to lurk for a while then start gently.

3. It's usually best to avoid thinking that you are being deliberately 
ignored in these circumstances, even though the urgency of a specific 
situation can induce paranoia.

Anyway, welcome to c.l.py. After this baptism by fire I am sure it will 
all be plain sailing from here on:-)

regards
  Steve
