RESPECTFULLY:
I have posted before (under a different AKA) and it seems sometimes my posts
go for days without any response. Is there any rhyme or reason or order in
which post are responded to. This is a sincere request, so no nasty remarks
please.

Hi JB,
I hope that routinely we avoid nasty remarks.
All the MVPs and the other non-Microsoft people who respond are, as
Chris says, volunteers. We are not Microsoft staff. We are not paid to
do this.
We all have lives outside newsgroups. Sometimes we don't get to the
group for days or weeks (It's only recently I have had time to start
posting/answering again). Sometimes we may have only 10 minutes to pop
in. The easy questions tend to get answered quickly if that's the
case. Then real life takes over again.
Last weekend I went back through several days of posts and looked
specifically for posts that hadn't had an answer. Again, I had limited
time. And answered as many as I could in that time.
Sometimes we assume that a question is in another person's expertise.
You asked recently about IE2Onenote.exe (or something like that). I
assumed it was a powertoy, which "isn't me". So, specific to that
post, I read it but assumed that somebody else would be better placed
to reply to you.
Sometimes posts go missing. Not often. But it does happen.
If you have unanswered posts then please feel free to repost the
question(s or point us to the original(s). If I/we don't know we can
say so. It happens ... we like to think that it is very rare. <grin/>
I hope that helps.
