Here's a theory (related to not getting any answers/responses to your posts).
There are a lot - hundreds - of new topics posted on the board every day.
Most folks can't read every thread.
So they make a choice based on the thread title.
And titles like these:
Has anyone...
It would sure help us if...
How many...
How do you all...
are particularly unhelpful in identifying the content of the thread.
And so are passed over.
Of course, that's only one theory.
I'm sure there are others.
