You're missing the point.

People that contribute (i.e. giving answers) in opensource user forums
(including this one) mostly do so on their free time. They do so out
of good will to help others, or wanting to share their experience.
There's no obligation whatsoever for them to do anything. Not even to
respond to a question.

That's why I said "if you want prompt, accurate, replies, buy support
contract. That's what it's there for". If you buy a support contract,
and ask in their appropriate channel (e.g. web ticket, phone,
whatever) then your comments is perfectly valid. They shouldn't ignore
your question, or say they're busy, or say the question doesn't make
sense. They're obligated to respond because they're paid to do so.

But again, this forum is NOT a paid support forum. People contribute
here does NOT get paid to do so. So don't complain if your questions
are unanswered.

And those of us who answer questions here a lot scan the forums and if a question makes noÂintelligibleÂsense we'll probably skip it.

I know I'm not getting paid to offer my support and I don't think anyone else is either.Â

Sometimes rewording a question will get you an answer. Attacking the people in the forum probably won't.
