Hello: A couple of days ago I posted a question about the cgi library, which was not answered. What are appropriate courses of action for me in a case like this? Thanks. Mark
A couple of days ago I posted a question about the cgi library, which was not answered.
Hopefully, this repeat request will get you some answers (though I note that Graham Klyne did answer your question at length on 23/6/2003). In the future, a couple of things you might do to increase the chance of reply are: 1) Use plain ASCII in email. Some people use old mail readers that can't display HTML. Other people (myself included) use new mail readers that can display HTML but they turn off HTML processing to avoid any security issues. Both groups will, at most, skim HTML email looking to see if it is something they need to read. 2) Use a descriptive subject line. Given the fact that you are competing against a background of spam for my attention and that you used HTML, you need a more descriptive subject line than just: "Re: Haskell-Cafe digest, volume 1" -- Alastair Reid

Since Alastair Reid responded matter-of-factly and technically, I permit myself to ask Mark Espinoza whether he thinks that all questions have always to be answered? (**) I would suggest to have a cup of coffee, and to listen to a well known piece of music by Charles Ives. Yes, I am serious. http://www.charlesives.org/ http://www.musicweb.uk.net/Ives/WK_Unanswered_Question.htm Jerzy Karczmarczuk (**) If you don't answer this question, then what?
