>You certainly could think whatever you like, Lou, as always. However, the likelihood that such a conclusion based on a non-event (lack of replies) would be a valid and reliable explanation of others' behavior (or non-behavior as it were) seems to me to be low. There could be and likely would be many, many other reasonable explanations for something not occuring. And how long would you allow for replies before forming that conclusion? What's that saying again, "You can't prove a negative"?
