[Coco] An apology to Boisy

[Robert Gault]

Jim, There is a difference between a newsgroup and a one to one 
conversation. In a conversation, you expect to get answers to questions 
even if the answer is, "I don't know."

In my opinion, you should not expect any response of the "I don't know," 
type on a newsgroup. Responses should be present only if the responder 
has something useful to contribute. Anything else is a waste of 
bandwidth. In fact, "Me too," responses generally are (or were) 
considered bad net etiquette.

So I don't think you were ignored. Most likely no one knew the answers 
to your questions.
