modpriest, You will be missed. Everyday I check my RSS reader with the hope that I might see a post which you authored. I dont know how I will continue on. A life without modpriest is like a POST with no params, an AR model with no attributes, a controller with no actions. I will probably need some help for a while to get over my depression. Perhaps someone can write a rails plugin that can search google groups for your posts then return them in flash messages on every request… Not to sound like a dick but some posts get responses others do not. I noticed you posted about RoR hosting on godaddy, it could be that those that read this group might not be knowledgeable about godaddy hosting. Try checking out some of the other hosting providers listed here, [http://nubyonrails.com/articles/2007/02/24/the-host-with-the-most](http://nubyonrails.com/articles/2007/02/24/the-host-with-the-most) - Richard ---

I’ve received an answer to every one of my questions literally within hours of posting them. Maybe it’s just the way you’re asking your questions. For example, writing gigantic, complicated posts is a good way to not get your questio answered because answering can be a daunting or time consuming task. That’s just an example. What’s example of a question you posted? ---

I am sorry to hear that. The most common reasons I find for not replying to a post are: 1. The poster wants someone else to figure out their code. Group debugging is not likely to get many takers. 2. The poster does not appear to have put any effort into researching the problem on their own. 3. The problem description is not clear enough to know what the answer would be. It is very rare for people to take the time to research someone else’s problem. That is called consulting and people get paid for that. Once a post makes it past this screening criteria I have found many replies. This forum is pretty good about sharing their expertise, and reasonably polite about it. Unlike some forums I do not see many “RTFM” type replies. Michael ---
