Why Does No One Ever Answer ?

redhotlynn · #1 12/06/2006, 03:26 PM

THOUGHT YOU PEOPLE WERE HERE TO HELP ??????

rayjay · #2 12/06/2006, 10:57 PM

You only posted your unanswered query at 7:33pm and you are upset already?
The only other post I've seen of yours that didn't get answered was the one looking to buy a seahorse from someone.
These two qualify as NEVER answering?
You have to remember that seahorses are not an everyday topic to most hobbyists so those that frequent this forum are not as numerous as some other forums. Also, not everyone is qualified to answer ALL questions on all topics.
If you need help fast then sometimes it's more readily available at seahorse.org.

I DONT KNOW WHY THIS POST SAYS 7:30 P.M. I STARTED ASKING FOR HELP AT 10:00 A.M. THIS MORNING WHEN I FOUND HER... AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME BUT SHES DEAD THANX FOR YOUR HELP!!!! AND YES I DID WRIGHT SEAHORSE.ORG TO AND STILL NO ANSWER!!!!! THANK YOU ALL!!!

rayjay · #4 12/07/2006, 12:00 AM

If she is dead now, then you had no chance to save her even if you had an answer at 10 am. The problem was too far advanced for death to occur that fast.
I can understand you feel when loosing your seahorse, as I have been there done that and it has never gotten any easier now after 13 yrs. However, an attitude won't help you getting answers in the future.
It would be nice for all of us if someone who new it all were available all the time just in case they were needed, but in fact we all have other parts of our lives and usually, like the kids, have to come first.
I find the best way to get immediate information is to read the articles on s..org, and, use the search feature of the forums to find similar problems and find how the problem was resolved in the past.
It's seldom that a problem occurs that has never been queried before, either here or at the org.

Well put RAYJAY,
HIGH FIVERS sent your way.

Well put everyone!! I'm a member on the org as well.... I do not see anything.

redhotlynn... Keep one thing in mind: we are not your "answer men". If you had done extensive, faithful research on these creatures, you more easily succeed in treating the illness. This would be the time you ask for help. Instead, you fly to us, demanding answers immediatly. I know it's hard to loose a horse, but taking your sadness/anger on all of us just isn't fair. I don't know if it's just me, but-- I don't enjoy reading your oppressive posts. Please, we are trying to help you...

Hi redhotlynn,
I replied to two of your other threads if you would care to read them. Up to you.

Maybe it would be a good idea to calm down a little. Posting in all caps on a message board with many exclamation points is considered shouting at us and is not received very well by members.

I am sorry you are having problems but blaming the members here is not going to help matters and many will be hesitant to try to help you in the future.

Well, her name is "red hot . . . " LOL

FWIW, I too am sorry about the seahorse. It s**ks when something dies.

redhotlynn · #10 12/07/2006, 09:18 PM

well I have calmed down but it does upset me this is not the first time no one ever answers on here the only time they did is when I got upset. and for everyone I have done alot of research one these I am sure no one knows every thing there is to know all I can do is ask for help.

Anyone know of a smilie with a shovel digging a hole?

NanoLurker · #12 12/08/2006, 12:07 AM

i hang out on seahorse.org, and more specifically read every single thread in "disease and treatment" and "emergency" and i don't see anything from you or any post even remotely resembling what you reported. can you link the post so i can see where it ended up?

also, i've searched all your other threads and people have responded to you. from the time you posted to when someone reponded and you reported the seahorse was dead was approximately 2 hours, there were probably other indicators that something was wrong with the horse, i don't know of any pathogen that would strike (other than tank contamination) that would affect a horse that quickly. as for the "time discrepancy", make sure your settings are for your correct time zone.

what's happened has happened. what specifically are your problems now with your remaining horses?

FishGrrl · #13 12/08/2006, 01:25 AM

redhotlynn, you seem to not understand something important about internet forums. No one owes you anything, and you have no right demanding for answers. When you act like you're entitled, no one is going to want to help you in the future.

The best thing you can do in emergency cases is going to be to read forum history anyways, to find out what kind of remedies in the past have worked. Posting may help, but your best bet is always to rely on yourself, not others.

Write? to seahorse.org as in EMAIL? I cant even find a single email address, I dont think there is one.

scapes · #15 12/24/2006, 10:24 PM

i think we've already established the fact redhotlynn is an overexagerrator

Your going to be very unsuccessful in this hobby if you blame people you don't even know for your problems.

FWIW, I never respond to posts where people delcare "the water is fine". I hear it too often in my job and I know that it is just code for "I don't want a real answer just gimme a quick fix".

rayjay · #17 12/25/2006, 03:15 AM

Anyone notice that this thread is a few weeks old?
It's doubtful after this long, and, after the responses it drew, that the original author will be following it anymore.
IMO it should be buried

orb · #18 01/03/2007, 06:40 AM

well it was good to read again, made me smile.

nemodude · #19 01/03/2007, 06:16 PM

wow, redhotlynn needs to take a chill pill.

KeepOnReefin · #20 01/03/2007, 07:44 PM

Wow! Seems like to me someone was taking appreciated knowledge for granted.... Must have changed their screen name.
