That is really bad policy.  So you're so much more important that the
recipient that you get to send one message thru the list like everyone else
and one additional spam message to get extra attention?  If someone doesn't
want to reply to your message, that's their choice.  You have no right to
send them a second spam message to insist on more free help or to try to cu=

in line somehow.

Nobody is owed a reply here.  You only get replies because others decided t=
o
volunteer their time to your issue.  You want to make as things easy and
un-annoying to the volunteers who donate their free time to respond here as
possible.  Your method basically penalizes people for responding, and so is
a really bad idea.
