Sorry, what's that about then?

The student, who happens to be my son has posted a request on
ukriversguidebook and had not one single response - which for a
website/ forum that is constantly touted here as being THE place to
be, is actually pretty poor.

That aside, if asking for responses, anyone doing so ought to take
whatever means possible, if that includes posting on a forum and , God
Forbid, a newsgroup, then so be it.

Contrary to your view, there is every reason to post on here as well
as the ukriversguide.

It happens that considerable response has actually been had from a
third method used to contact coaches, should he having posted on the
forum, not have tried that third method that gave results?

I'm not complaining about him posting his request here. It's fine, just
that he posted the same request twice on consecutive days. I was simply
pointing out that posting more than once won't get him any more replies.
Remember that people may not be reading either this newsgroup or UKRGB
every day - so have patience.

Just to clarify further - he posted twice HERE. I wasn't refereing to
any posts elsewhere. So stop blowing up in my face.

I use UKRGB and I certainly can't see 9or even find) a post of that nature.
When did he post?

Indeed. It still serves a purpose.

The first post did not appear on his newsreader so he thought it
hadn't appeared.

Apologies for going off on one but I thought that you were doing a
don't post here post on ukriversguide routine and I didn't understand
what that was about.

I understand what you are saying now.

PAX?

I'm not sure when he posted but I know that he was a bit miffed that
no-one had responded.

Turns out a more direct approach seems to be more effective anyway

Found it at http://www.ukriversguidebook.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11398 -
Guidebook asked him to post the Quest, but he hasn't yet done so. Might be
worth his while doing so as I think people there will tend to reply on the
board rather than ask for a quest by mail?
