miden,
For the most part, I try to get to as many questions as I can on all the forums I monitor (over 6 and counting). For me to get to a question (as I had listed over 2 years ago on this forum), you will have to have my name in the subject e.g "Question for AJ - RE: SD1 Sequencer". This is the ONLY way I can get to the question in time as I do NOT have the time to go through threads searching for questions that could be or couldn't be directed at me.
However for posting items for sale ... or just information, I simply type - and send - no searching, no going through what might or might not be there for me ... etc.
Hope this answers your question.
Thanks,
AJ
