I actually had two questions sitting in the queue that were posted last week and I just didn't see till this morning. As this string discusses, most questions are emailed directly to
[email protected] and answered via email. That method is the best way to insure quickest response time.
Both questions that were in pending were from people who were experiencing specific symptoms and wanting to know if they were normal. I am going to attach a few links below that explain why we can't answer these kind of specific questions.
One of the people who tried to post gave an email address when registering--the other did not. I emailed an answer to the first person but could not to the other. This message is going to have to suffice for this individual because I have no way of contacting him or her directly.
