Subject: When to re-post or give up on a message
Date: Sat, 01 Oct 2011 13:54:58 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E8753F2.4080706@shealevy.com> (raw)

Hi all,

If a new thread is posted to the list without any response, how long 
should the poster wait before losing any expectation of a response? 
Under what circumstances should the poster then re-post, and when should 
he just give up on that thread? Sorry to have to ask this on the list, 
but I can't find it on the faq anywhere.

Cheers,
Shea Levy
