Yes - to person with the deadline, sure this would seem urgent. To the rest of us on this volunteer list? Not so much. I think it makes the poster seem impatient, especially when the OP does not explain what makes it so important. He could be trying to cram in some last minute homework assignment that he slacked off on, for all we know.

I'm just telling you how posts with "urgent" in the title are usually perceived on forums like this where people ask for technical help. Most of the people on this group are working individually on projects as a hobby - the level of urgency of solving any given problem presented here, in the grand scheme of things, is incredibly low. However important this problem is for you to solve, it frankly means nothing to the rest of us and adding "urgent" is not going to make us drop everything to try to help. At best it adds nothing to the discussion about the problem you're having and at worst it makes you seem impatient and actually discourages people from helping you. Believe it or not, I'm actually trying to help you. I really think you would be best served, now and in the future, with not adding "urgent" to your post. It usually hurts more than it helps - that's what I'm trying to get at. > You have admitted that you have not used monkey yet you make the claim that > having trouble with it is not urgent. > Correct. I don't need to use the tool to determine this. Even if you never solve your problem, the world will keep spinning and life will go on. You claim this is urgent but you've still not explained what the severe consequences of this not being solved will be, besides there being "important" work depending on it - which is completely subjective to you. > Did you base this on your previous "monkey experience"? > Where did I claim to have "monkey experience"? I'm pretty sure I clearly stated I had not used Monkey. Or was that "sarcasm"? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
