I agree that we all don't check in here with the same frequency. OTOH,
if I asked a question, I'd certainly check back soon to read the
answer(s). Otherwise, it couldn't have been too important. When I
answer someone's question, I'm under the impression that they really
wanted someone's opinion or ideas to help them with a project or make a
purchase. Like I said before, Mac, maybe I AM expecting too much!

When we converse, the listener makes "uh huh" noises from time to time,
to show they are paying attention. It's impossible to know when someone
is reading here, unless they post a reply.

Seems to me that's just common decency. Wouldn't a day be about the
right time frame to expect the OP to post either his general "thanks" or
ask more questions, or debate some issues raised by the responders?

Or am I expecting too much?

I think most folks do respond, even if it's just a "thanks"..

As to how long?
I check the wRECk once or twice a day when I'm in town, but I have friends that
check newsgroups once a week or so, whether they need to or not.. same with
email..

Hell, last thursday night, I sent my kid in WA. an email to let him know that we
were leaving home Thursday night instead of Friday afternoon.. We got to his
house Friday afternoon and he hadn't checked his email in 3 or 4 days.. lol
