That doesn't often happen with other thread starters, and one's enthusiasm wanes after continually responding to questions for no little apparent reason in terms of feedback.

Is it really a genuine "community" when people don't act as they would in a face-to-face community?

Very true Renato.
It's considered common courtesy to acknowledge and respond to someone that tries to answer and help out.
Sadly though, this is not always the case.
