With all due respect Melanie, that isn't what usually happens.
When a post goes unanswered, this is what happens.
* message is re-posted
* that goes unanswered
* poster then asks the list:
"Hey, why hasn't anyone answered this?"
* poster asks me:
"Hey, why hasn't anyone answered this?"
* I reply:
* * maybe no one knows the answer
* * maybe it's so dead easy no body bothers
* Mladen G. says to RTFM, along with a technical
explanation down to the bit level.
* Ian M. takes it further, down to the quantam level.
* Jonathan L. posts a concise, insightful and clear reply
* poster asks for clarification
* Tim G. writes the first chapter of a book on the subject
and posts it to the list.
* Juan P. points the poster to asktom
* Paul D. explains why the RAID is misconfigured
* Poster asks Tim for all the implementation code
for the first chapter of the book.
* Kathy D. implies the poster has no social life and
has much imbibing to catch up on.
* Tim G. writes the second chapter to the book and posts it.
* Poster tries RTFM but is overwhelmed by the
table of contents.
* Dennis W. does a googles search and posts the answer to
to the problem 2 minutes after reading the email.
* poster sends resume to Starbucks
* resume returned - DBA's are under-qualified.
That's the general flow, anyway.
Jared
