True but I've seen posts where no one responds with a fix as well.  I do
try to help people whenever I can just like I would hope a person would
do and has done for me.

Actually, I posted the first reply to this thread.  The OP posted at
about 9:06AM.  I replied at about 9:54AM.  Alan posted his first reply
at 10:31AM.  My first reply included this:

So, you either missed my first reply or didn't understand what I
included in it.  Which would be ironic wouldn't it? 

Here's the deal.  If someone posts and I have something that works, I'm
going to post it.  If it helps, fine.  If it doesn't then others can
post what works for them or explain what is what on it.  After all, we
are ALL here to try and help each other.  What one person does may or
may not work for another.  Still, we share just the same.
