I appreciate your appraisal of the list et al and it is possible that what you say is true, however; for the sake of the next newcomer to the list, maybe a simple hello in response to theirs would make them feel more welcome - it is difficult for someone who does not know the people they are introducing themselves to, to be able to gauge the difference between what is the norm and what is blatant disregard.
No doubt and im the first one to offer any apologies. But I will say that I genuinely overlooked the email announcing a new arrival <G> We aren't deliberately ignoring you (though im sure it seems that way) its just been a busy month for some of us. Welcome to the group. :) there ive said it <VBG>
Naturally, I do not expect every one of my posts to be responded to, that would be an unrealistic expectation but so is everyone's assumption that newcomers don't have the 'newbie' jitters and that they are quite content to have one sided conversations until someone decides to respond to their awkward prattle.
However we differ in our opinions on this, I do thank you for your response to my post :-)
Im quite a newbie of sorts myself so dont take things to heart. This list is here to enjoy. So enjoy. Its an unfortunate start but one that is easily rectified. :)
