I have made several posts asking the same type dmb questions. Other people
ask similar questions and get answers almost immediately.
My questions go unanswered permanently.
I posted code, explained the issue in detail and have done everything
everyone else has done, to no avail.
WTF gives?
I've asked as many different ways as I can think.

i see two posts and both were answered by bob walton who told you to
look at the MLDBM module which is a good answer. what more do you want?
have you looked at the module? installed it? rtfm'ed it?

how many ways do you need to be told to use that module?

I'm sorry, there must be something wrong with my isp news again, as I don't
see any responses at all.
I'm not sure why yours showed up, but the others didn't. I did not cross
post, so they must have showed up out of my thread.

Thanks,
Tom

You've been asked to stop top-posting, yet you are still top-posting.

Many people will killfile you for that. Maybe that is why you aren't
getting enough helpful responses...

Whose posts?

It is customary to quote a bit of context (and an attribution)
when referring to something earlier in the thread.


If your newserver is dropping articles, try looking for them at Google:

Omg, I removed all the other text and got yelled at for that. I for the life
of me cannot understand what people's problem is with where the text goes.
I'm an R&D Engineer and write thousands of emails a year discussing
technical data and not one in thousands that I have received, had new text
at the bottom. I don't know an Engineer that would bother to search a large
email for it. It's a hassle, in usenet and email, to search through an email
or at the bottom, especially when having to read many messages. Click and
scope first two lines and if interesting or important, read the rest.
Otherwise, move on.
Having to scroll to the bottom is both a joke and cumbersome.
I just don't get it. Important/new stuff UP where it can be read.
I suppose this is different for people who absoultely thrive on reading
usenet threads, but for someone who reads and writes tons of technicals at
their job 12+ hours a day, and again at night researching, it's a huge PITA.

I'm just being honest here and am not trying to offend anyone or get
killfiled, esp. since it has been so helpful now that someone answered.
The part of my script with dbms is working now, thanks!

and do you like to work backwards in time as well? consider the history
of email and usenet where bandwidth and storage costs were very high. so
you respected other people's systems by editing out unneeded text and to
keep context flowing, you added your commented below since we read from
top to bottom.

now with cheap bandwidth and storage, and the generation of clods raised
on winblows where you are taught not to care about anything, let alone
how other people work, top posting has infected the usenet/email space
and is the most virulent virus yet.

i have to deal with this in other areas and i have taught a few
(including my non-tech wife) how to edit and post. but there are too
many out there who will not get it. reading backwards seems natural to
them now just like \ is now called slash and / is called forward
slash.

the offense was not the first time you top posted but the second and
later ones after you were asked to not do it. this group (and others on
usenet) are one of the few havens of proper posting and editing. long
may that standard rule!
