I just wanted to let you all know clearly, that even if your question/message did not receive a reply, please know that if a notation has been made in the thread title stating so, then your message successfully reached Bear and he did read it. As long as it isn't inappropriate (that goes without saying, and yes, is 100% subjective on my part), I try and pass most Questions & Messages (Q & M's) on to Bear. With that said however, due to his ever more busy schedule, Bear often doesn't have much downtime, and I may need to make a decision to not submit some posts. This again, is 100% subjective on my part, and the reasons may vary from a repetitive question, a topic I deem too personal, a topic that would be better addressed elsewhere, etc. I apologize for any disappointment or inconvenience this may cause, but it's something that simply needs to be done when necessary, in order for this forum to remain open and run smoothly. Please also understand that Bear is of course his own person, so unfortunately, I can't predict what he does or doesn't choose to reply to. I'm very grateful for all the support he continually gives to the fan sites (here and MySpace), and I can assure you that he is incredibly grateful for all the support he receives from all of you, the fans, so please don't feel bad in any way!!
If he gets back to me with an answer/reply to your Q/M - I copy and paste his exact response to it's respective thread as soon as possible, and make a note in the thread title letting you know that it's received a reply.
If your post did not receive a reply - So there is no confusion, as of today 2-5-08, I will add "(No Reply)" to the thread title. Note: All threads dated on or before 2-01-08 have already been sent to Bear, whether they received a reply or not!
If your Q/M has no notes from me placed in the title - It means that it has not yet been passed on to Bear. Note: With the exception of everything dated on or before 2/1/08, as I'm only beginning the "(No Reply)" notation now for those dated after 2/1/08! To better suit both mine and Bear's schedules, I allow the 'Ask Bear' forum to build up for a non pre-determined length of time, so I can send several to him in one shot. Note: Please be patient; I do the very best I can with getting things passed to him in as timely a manor as possible, but an understanding that this can often be a difficult task, would be greatly appreciated!!
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask, and enjoy the Official Fansite!!!
