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
