Why are the difficult questions rarely answered on these boards? :(

Because no one knows the answer? Because the question was phrased in such a
way (or is too long and down out) that no one understands what the person is
asking?

C'mon, don't you MVPs get tired of answering the same old easy questions all
the time? I like to throw you a challenge every now and then, keep you on
your toes. :-p
Besides, all my questions are well written and quite descriptive. :)

I haven't seen any from this display name that went unanswered - which
reminds of another reason: no one saw it, usually because OE decided not to
download it.

To add to what Diane has said, sometimes the post never includes the most
relevant information, such as Outlook Version, complete error message, etc.

We do get tired of having to ask so I usually will just skip those where
basic information is missing. Then I go watch Nickolodeon or ESPN.

And here is a perfect example:

Is there a way for us to hide the entirety of the calendar from anyone who
isn't Ruth or an administrator? Setting everyone else at Deny appears not
to
have done the trick.
