treat any first request as a self contained problem which is 'solved' merely for enjoyment rather like crossword puzzles - many new posters often place the same request on several boards - also there used to be a popular antispam mechanism used esp by Americans of treating email received from an address to wch they hadn't previously posted to as spam - hence they never got any notification of a reply - others post using a throwaway email address wch they then seldom bother to check.
