I can relate very much to feeling not heard, but unexpectedly found that I was not shouting into a void long after I had given up hope of response.

Being heard doesn't necessarily equate to be responded to directly, in fact.

I believe Stinc has ears on the ground, and listens quite closely to the community. Responding directly, not so much, as that would be far too time consuming, and productive of fractious debate of no benefit whatsoever.

Take heart!
