Hey STEVE R BURRUS! (And anyone else that wants to adopt an "I EXPECT you to help me!" attitude.)
It's really bad netiquette to say things like "since you didn't see fit to respond to my email message to u last nite", and more especially "will you please try to do a better job of responding back to me than the poor job that you apparently did last nite?" Something more along the lines of "My message may have gotten lost in the mix last night, so I'm resending in case someone can help me out." and "I don't know if my previous reply got sent correctly, so here's a second try." are much more likely to get the desired response. Be a little courteous, a little humble, and little grateful, and you'd be amazed at how much support you'll get in return. My two cents.
