There are a number of reasons I don't reply to specific posts:

1) Often, especially lately, I've simply been too busy.

2) The user asks a Windows-specific question that I don't know the answer
to.

3) I'd need to actually open an interpreter and futz for a couple minutes
and, while I could easily answer some questions, that takes too much
interruption.

On the other hand, I don't see questions going unanswered (at least not
for long), so I think that the system works pretty well.
