Try again--someone else on a different day may help you. If you have a
really hard question--you may not get any responses.

For example, several weeks ago--someone mentioned that he disconnected his
battery and his radio would no longer work. He had lost the code and
wanted someone to send him the code that he needed.

Needless to say, no person provided him with the information that he wanted.
He probably feels the same way you now feel. The reality is no one could
ever give him the code.
