Nobody ever even bothered to answer this person's question.

BTW...24 hours is ample time to wait for a reply to a support question, regardless of what day of the year it is.
For a free mod made in the author's spare time? It's not unusual for support to take days, even weeks. Sickness, vacation, family needs, work demands, all kinds of things can throw response time up in the air.

Also, if someone is going to submit a mod...and not support it...why not state that in the information about the mod.

I grow weary of these excuses that this person, or that person has a lot of mods they've created...and might not have the time to get around to supporting them all. My answer to that is...slow down and only contribute what you can supply support for.

When a coder submits a mod...and this mod does what it says it's going to do...and they supply the support they said they would when they submitted the mod...I make sure that coder gets the credit and the praise they deserve.

Then we have people like you who have to make it a point to interrupt someone's request for support with crap that doesn't even warrant a response.

Was your last post in this thread helpful at all?

I think not! Merry Christmas! Bah-humbug!
Well, technically I didn't interrupt your request for support, since you had already untinsalled the modification and no longer needed it. I was responding to your comment and pointing out something that too many folks on this site seem to be misinformed on.

The excuse is, really, that they need none. There's no expectation that support is supposed to come in any expected time frame. Indeed, it is Christmas, and a fair number of authors on the site are likely not even going to be home for the next week or until the new year. Support is, and always has been at the author's discretion/convenience. This stuff isn't exactly putting food on their table.
