You can thank Microsoft for this one. > and I don't know how > most people feel about this, but personally I take a dim view of posters who > cannot even be bothered to look through the group regularly to check for > reponses to their questions.

It again shows that MSFT has *no clue* about community. -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org
From: GS on 4 Feb 2010 14:27 Hi Mike, It was not intended as a joke, but more to draw attention to the fact that the notification service wasn't working. I never rely on it anymore and so I can only look for replies when I get a chance. I dutifully check often when I'm the OP, and as often as I can when I'm replying to other OPs. So the comment was meant more as an apology to you all for not replying in a more timely fashion. Kind regards, Garry -- "Mike Williams" wrote: > "GS" <GS(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:513F7D4F-E14A-4232-8354-7DE4300AD9CE(a)microsoft.com... > > > BTW placing a check in the Notify me of replies checkbox hasn't > > ever worked.
