After all, if they don't have something specific they want to talk about, they're likely to just get on with what they were doing. Anyone presenting a simple Ruby problem usually gets a quick response, in my limited experience. But it could be that your time zone is disadvantaged. That's unlikely though. Cheers, Gavin
