How about realising that I'm not perfect, and sometimes need reminding (*after* a reasonable period of about a week or so)? Rather than just saying "I submitted this, got ignored and gave up" ? It's a bit like putting a slip of paper in a secretaries tray from your doctor requesting another appointment in 4 weeks time. You wait and wait for notification, which never comes. What do you do? Do you give up? Or do you wait a reasonable time before telephoning the secretary to find out what's happening? Guess what I did this morning? I telephoned the secretary to find out what was happening. Result is I now have an appointment. I didn't give up. This is no different. People forget things. Things get mislayed. People have to be constantly hastled to do anything. That's life. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
