First of all, Kerry's answer was good. Keep in mind that the people on this (and most other) forum aren't paid to answer questions, they respond to questions that interest them. Even if your question is interesting, it can always happen that there is a much more interesting thread that happens to have people's attention. The opposite is also possible. Some threads are very boring to some. If there are some very busy threads that PIC-interested folks are blowing off, it could easily be that your post was simply lost in the noise. It is also quite possible that you happened to post at time when most folks were busy. I certainly don't spend all day every day on the PIClist, and a doubt many others do, either. That being said, it is important to take reasonable steps to answer your own question first. Your original post pretty much answered your own question, except perhaps for the recognition that in this case cell=3Drow. Why would I add to the noise if I had nothing of significance to offer? Kerry picked up on a couple of details that perhaps most of us glossed over. Your question was pretty good, but often there are questions that are so poorly worded you don't know what the OP is asking, and then there are the posts where the answer is obvious from the datasheet or Google. Those kinds of posts tend to be pretty annoying indicating the poster couldn't make even a little effort to answer his own post. Answering someone who is simply lazy doesn't generally feel worthwhile. I guess what I'm saying is that you shouldn't be horribly surprised if you get no answer. Most of the time asking again, perhaps with some rephrasing of the question, will elicit an answer. --McD On Wed, 2014-07-09 at 07:43 +0000, Peter wrote: > Sorry for pounding on on a dead horse, I am somewhat mystified by the lack > of participation on this thread which I started?
