Unanswered Question

Hi, I was wondering if someone could answer my previous question (which can be found on my profile)? I replied to the person who helped me originally and he's yet to answer. I just wanted to (1) double-check and (2) also get some clairification on why he answered as he did. Because that's how I can actually learn rather than just getting my answer and going on my merry way. I know maybe people are very busy answering other questions, but I've seen a lot of stuff answered since. Either way, I thank you.

It can be frustrating if a question goes unanswered, Matt, but sometimes it just happens that the people who might best answer your question are simply not around. Remember that all our members are volunteers, who do their best to help people in their own free time. They fit this in between work, family, eating, sleeping and their other personal interests.

I apologize, no pressure intended. I just didn't know if the nice gentleman who originally responded (1) even receives notifications when I reply back or (2) wouldn't sign on for another 3-4 days … because who knows his habits. Very appreciative all the same.
