Hi there,

Looking at the question, I can tell you that many people don't even bother to read a question that isn't even remotely punctuated or capitalized.

Perhaps they feel that if you don't put any effort into asking the question, they shouldn't put any effort into answering it.

As for "...i gave out so much advice..." ... there are quite a number of people here who have answered upwards of 5,000 questions. You have answered 14. ;-)

My suggestion to you is to completely re-write it and post it again.

Put some effort into it, and you will see the difference it makes.

By the way, I just noticed... your question was answered on the 8th, and I know you are aware of this since you rated the answer, so please tell me, in feedback, why it is that you posted this?

Good luck re-writing your question with punctuation and caps. I think you will like the difference in answers. It also goes a long way towards making you look intelligent. :-)

DN.

it could be for a lot of different reasons... the question is hard to read, a hard question, a question that's been answered before or it was just overlooked/ignored. it happens. you can try asking specific columnists. I usually always answer questions sent to my inbox. <3

I have the same problem as Agnes... Sorry.

Also, people answer questions that they know how to. Don't just assume that because you don't know the answer, somebody else does... Perhaps your problem is just universally hard to solve.

It's hard for me to focus on a long text without any punctuation. I suppose many other people can't do it either and that's why they don't answer it. It looks like one big sentence to me and I can't understand it. I tried reading your first question again, and I failed. Sorry :(

If you want to have your question answered for sure, pick a columnist that you like and you believe their judgement, and inbox them. I think everyone will take time to answer questions directed at them personally.

Don't ask it again because it would probably be deleted as a duplicate question.

Most people (unfortunately) do not venture beyond the first couple of pages of the 10 full of questions. Maybe this question will make them realize there are a lot more out there.

I looked up your last question and will post the link to it here, in case someone would like to check it out. :)

if its a question that not many people will know the answer to, then not many people will answer. if its an easy question, like an opinion question, than more people will answer
all you have to do is think about you question.
next time you ask one, make it shorter, and easy to understand
also, dont worry if no one answered it, ive asked questions before that never got answered, it happens occasionally
