Please don't confuse the length of a thread or the traffic it generates with its usefulness. If some of your posts don't get responded to immediately or not at all, I would see that as a good sign if I were you, in view of the reactions you got to other posts that were responded to. Don't think we don't appreciate your efforts to be on topic if we don't reply, at least not immediately or only indirectly. Those flashes of insight take a little longer to get trough to some of us.
