Not my experience. However sometimes I am appalled by the way
questions are put. A meaningless subject, little info
(something like "XFree does not work, what should I do?").
If you get no replies, try posting again with a more meaningfull
subject and more detailed information on what might cause the problem.
Myself, if I recognize a problem and see a clear description, I will
answer much sooner than on a question with vague information.
Could you repost your question; I'm curious how clear it was.
