The same might be said of articles about Wikipedia.  If you don't get 
any responses within 48 hours you are unlikely to get any at all.  I see 
one response there but that is most likely because of the message to 
which I am responding.  Your comments are on "Temp17" of what is 
probably a much longer series of personal subpages.  There is very 
likelihood that anyone will ever see it, let alone respond.
