Please, do not beg.
Please, do not post useless posts.
If you already posted a request, use the thread in which your post already is instead of creating a new thread to "revive" a thread.
Acting like you do doesn't make anybody want to answer your question.

Mr.Galaxy ,
This is earth.Ceratin norms of behavior are expected.
It would be wiser for you not to reply , to a question, if you dont know how to.Discussion boards have moderators for people like you.But thank you for making a point anyway.Thank You,
Regards,
Matu

I, for one, would come out in support of Proxima. It's very rude
to post a question once and start a whole separate thread in
order to get people to reply to the other thread. Posting a
reply in the thread you'd already started will "bump" the message
to the top of the queue and you can generate hits that way.
Doing what you did exudes a level unprofessionalism and self-
centeredness.

I'm with proxima and Paul. Especially as you only allowed 5 hours for a reply to appear. This is not a help desk. We answer as when we can fit it in with our real jobs. You will usually get an answer, but it could easily take most of a day to appear. "Reasonable norms of behaviour" on this board are to wait a reasonable length of time, post to the original thread if you want to bump it and not to expect people to be at your beck and call.

My intent in posting a reply to this thread was not to put you down. I understand the tone I used could be interpreted as rude, I apologize.

However, I feel like all the people here who try to help that your behaviour is not what is expected. I mean about posting multiple messages in different threads trying to get the favour. I already go over reading hundreds of posts on this discussion board, and when I saw this one, I felt your behaviour was rude. You expected a quick answer and it didn't happen this way.
Tough luck, man.
Like others said, we're not at your service!

If after a day (or two) your post hasn't been answered, I believe it is "ok" to post another post (!) in the same thread as the one you queried for an answer. This way, the post goes up in the "new posts" history and you get a chance of someone else to pick up on your problem and eventually get an answer.

You're more than welcome to post, but please, please, please, for the sake of us all, only post a question once! :)

Thanks!

I might also add that the original thread has now been answered - the last entry nearly a day and a half ago. The OP, however, has not had the courtesy to acknowledge this - another "norm of behaviour" that it would be nice to see observed.

Let's forgive and forget, since he is a newbie(see the date he joined), like me. He may not be aware of such forum formalities.

I don't mind his being rude; I take ubrage at his critique on
ANOTHER person's behavior on the forums when his behavior
was far worse [in my opinion].

friends ,
I am sorry i didnt realize that to ask again it is expected that the question be asked in the same thread. Not to create a new thread.I understand Proxima's objection .I apologise.
I was objecting to "beg".We all people come here to learn and share our learning.Lets leave it behind.
Thanks
Regards
