Is that true, too, when there is much silence for a longer period of time and no central place to carry those vital information?

I know, that's why I was asking them (or generally anyone who considers himself an authority to answer my question about "borg"). > As far as you go, no one has seen you on a server or even know > what your last name is or what country you're from, so it's not > fair of you to expect people to just line up when you call for > attention. Aye... I wrongly assumed that in a generally silent place every post would rise enough attention on its own.

"Everything"? It's just a little bit. At least it seems so. > Also, you seem to have a tendency to type a lot of words without actually > saying much. Hmm...

Heh, I know, that's how things start, but then they get complicated by many participants, opinions and details (and time constraints forcing one to combine answers). It slowly developed and got out of control. -- © Rado S. -- You must provide YOUR effort for your goal! EVERY effort counts: at least to show your attitude.
