Get used to it, young man. Once infancy is over, it's time to stop thinking about being the center of attention and getting instant responses to every cry. Not every utterance is owed a reply, I'm afraid. That is what teaches us patience. You'll learn this as you grow up. That said, we're all here basically to offer encouragement to everyone in their modeling endeavors and, being a community of sorts, encouragement in other phases of their lives. I've seen plenty of threads here that include responses to you, responses that show people here of all ages treat you as an equal, not as a child. We don't owe each other responses, we do it when we feel we have something to offer or to take up a challenge. Some of what is posted in forums is extrememly provocative and gets replies from everyone. Some posts are only interesting to some and get a few replies. Some are interesting to no one but the poster and get none. Sometime there just is no known answer to the question, or sometimes the post is just weird beyond words. That's the way it goes here, on other forums and in life in general. I've posted a request for info on a specific railroad operation in three forums at this site, on four other model railroad forums, on 3 Delaware & Hudson lists and one mining list. Not one reply. That's life. It happens to us all. On occasion, there are some that post simply to see their name online or their message count increase. I always liked the idea that it's best to not say anything if you can't improve on the silence. Wayne
