Hi!
I have enjoyed a lot of reading and learning from this group for years,
answering here and there, but I never ever get an answer when I start a
topic. Mmmm, am I missing something or are my posts just rubbish ? :)
Yours sincerly,
F r e e

A Google Groups search on your rather non-descriptive and overly spaced
moniker shows only 18 posts in 13 threads where you participated:

http://groups.google.com/groups/search?q=author%3Af+author%3Ar+author%3Ae+group%3Aalt.comp.hardware.pc-homebuilt

Yes, those posts go back "years" to 2001 but 13 threads hardly qualifies
you as participating here or even as "answering here and there". You
may have lurked here a lot over all those years but the times you have
actually asked a question and NOT gotten a response is only *twice* and
each one separated by several months. Your "years" is deliberately and
definitely misleading. You have averaged 1 post every 140 days.

You posted a reply, not a question. Not much of a reply.

You did not ask a question.

You pretended you were responding to someone else's post (but didn't
provide a response) by prefixing each line with the ">" character. You
DID get an answer.

You weren't asking a question. You replied (but of no value).

You asked a question. You got an answer.

You didn't ask a question. You implied some non-detailed claim about a
review or comparison. You made an announcement.

No question asked. You felt compelled to announce your screwup as if
anyone else would care.

You didn't ask a question. You posted a reply.

You asked a question. It was about really old hardware so expect not
many users to answer. In fact, the lack of replies may have simply been
because you really didn't ask a question that was obvious as to what
info you were trying to get.

http://groups.google.com/group/alt.comp.hardware.pc-homebuilt/browse_frm/thread/09daafa175e3ec68/1661c85f5995b22a#1661c85f5995b22a
Not a question. Again you felt compelled to share your personal life
experience as if anyone else cares.

http://groups.google.com/group/alt.comp.hardware.pc-homebuilt/browse_frm/thread/e5472789476df275/c87d39b4935c7945#c87d39b4935c7945
You asked a question (now around 2-3 days old). No one has answered
yet.

And then there is this question of yours which doesn't count as a
question but rather a whine. So you have, in the past, asked all of 5
questions: 3 got answers, 1 question back on Feb 4 was about old
hardware that got no replies, and 1 was a couple days ago about
temperatures with no replies yet. So you asked 5 questions and 3 got
answered. This was over your "years" of participation from 2001 which
averaged one post every half year.
