I remind the first one, that answering or not to a request is within the full right of everyone and nobody should be blamed for whatever he might choose to do (unavailability of material and/or time also to be considered).
Technically yes, a person doesn't have to respond, but I thought after six calls for a reupload had been ignored, a few words from the uploader wouldn't have gone amiss... whatever those words were. I thought to completely ignore the messages with no words of reply seemed a bit off.
Also, I was suggesting that if anyone other than the original uploader had some of these recordings on their systems, perhaps they could upload them? No obligations expected, of course.
If I request something myself, I always ask in the form "if anyone has this recording on their system can they upload...?" Many times I ask and there is no response, but I just assume no one has what I requested, which is fine. I don't place this expectation on anyone. Many times you yourself have replied with "sorry I don't have it" or "sorry I only have mp3", and I don't make a fuss. I usually just say OK thanks anyway. And yes sometimes it's about a week later when I get back here to leave a message.
I've always found you very helpful, Greta, and I hope I've always remembered to say thank you. I know once or twice I requested something and the request was answered within a day, but it was nearly a week before I actually downloaded it, which is bad organisation on my part probably, but as I say I can't always get on the forum every day, due to other, outside concerns. A lot of the time I prefer to sit silent on the sidelines.
I have very little to contribute in return for anything unfortunately, but I always venture information about music if I have it to give.
