Then how can I send it? I used 2 different NSPs. Their website gives me a
"no syntax" error. How many other people's posts in support are not showing
up either?

Use google groups?

Then how and where would I ask the question? And how would it be worded to
sound positive?

Ask the question in a different post.

How? Derek agreed with you (research, fatty livers) did he not? And no one
else said anything concerning what they fed their fish. How would I not get
that impression? What impression would you have gotten? That only you
felt the expensive feeds should be fed? No one bothered to answer my
questions regarding the conditions the research was done under
either......... if they did my NR didn't pick it up.

I can only ASS-U-ME it was because it became a dead horse at that point,
you didn't like our answers, which _if_ they agreed with, you weren't
listening to anyway, how were their comments going to help? Perhaps they
didn't want to get involved, perhaps they didn't have a clue, perhaps they
don't feed their koi at all and don't want anyone to know? Regardless, if
they had, did or don't, their comments would have had nothing to do with us
all being on the same moderation team. This isn't a group consensus on
topics. We're working together for a consensus on the RFD, and how & what
to moderate. Not what we feed our fish, line our ponds with or what
predatory controls we use.

The original discussion was about passing of posts not feeding fish, that's
what it got turned into. As far as Derek agreeing, that had NOTHING to do
with him and I being on the same moderating team I can assure you.

Did it ever occur to you that the rest had nothing to add or no opinion one
way or the other? This is a discussion group, not a debate team
competition. Where Poster 1 gives their opinions with support, and Poster 2
does same, then everyone chimes in with who won. As far as your questions
unanswered, google for them, don't expect any group to do that kind of work
for you on stuff they're not interested in, or have already formed opinions
and/or found info they can live with. ~ jan
