How can you observe something that does not happen? You cannot observe posts being completely ignored, as the lack of a reply does not mean the non-repliers paid no attention. They might have thought about it, for example, and realized they had nothing worth contributing. There are many reasons for not replying (thank goodness, otherwise each post would have at least X number of replies where X is the number of people following the newsgroup). One of these is that the question is vague, hard to understand, or identical to the last twenty posts a person has answered. But even if some posts actually were being completely ignored, you will likely be unable to find out why, mainly because those not answering are the ones that know why, and they are not telling you. Think about it for a minute... Of course, if you knew why and knew it in advance, you would know not to post, or to post something that would be replied to. /Al
