I have trouble understanding these sorts of questions.

Sure, when I post I always get disappointed if there is no response but that is the proper behavior when your not familiar with the subject or don't have anything constructive to add or if you just don't have time.

If people start responding with noise only posts it gets really hard to keep up with the list when it gets more traffic.

There's also the vacuum gotcha, where you try and be helpful but the person asking the question doesn't have the skills to understand the answer and the thread goes rapidly off topic. So people often hold back to see how the thread develops.

My point is that there are plenty of reasons why there is no response to a post and you need to accept that.
