Gaetano,

Yes, they are.   Currently the major contributors are working hard to shape=
 up=20
both 7.3.3. and 7.4 (and having a long-running discussion about the due dat=
e=20
for 7.4), so they don't have much time for questions.

And for my part, I'm too busy with my paying job to answer all the question=
s=20
that get posted, as I suspect are Stephan and Bruno and several other peopl=
e=20
who field newbie questions.   Given the flood of requests, I have to=20
prioritize ... and a question which is missing several crucial details (lik=
e=20
a copy of the query!!!)   is going to get answered way later than a questio=
n=20
which provides all the needed information -- if at all.
