Hi all,
just a thought I would like to share...
I'm still green on this forum, but I try to help out where I can.
What I just noticed when I clicked on 'View unanswered posts in this forum' was that there were actually 375 pages, 20 posts per page... going all the way back to Jan 6th, 2005.
That's more than 7500 disappointments
I check this list sometimes, but never went farther than page 2 to check if I could answer something...
Some (maybe a lot) of these posters might be one-timers, they set the email-notification and only check for answers for their problem and are never seen again until they have a new problem, and then probably use a new name, because they forgot the old account...
I see some bump their own questions up, no harm in that if it's not done within a few hours or so of the first post...
I'm not saying these 375 pages should be all handled and answered, but maybe, if everyone once in a while would pick a 'forgotten' question and try to answer it, the list would reduce...
Of course there are also a lot of questions in that list that should not be there, easily answered by using the search here, or in Google, or the Excel help itself...
Anyway, to come to the point, I found it rather sad that there were so many unanswered posts... what are your thoughts about this?
greets,
H
