But you expected *someone* to reply, and you were displeased that no-one
did (on a weekend). If you weren't expecting *me* (personally) to reply,
then you must have been expecting some other specific person(s) to reply
in that timeframe. Whom -specifically- were you expecting to reply and were
disappointed you by not doing so? By "specifically", I mean "Name the person
or persons". Was it John? Roger? Urs? Matt?

The antonym of "no one" is, lacking context otherwise, "everyone". I am
part of "everyone", so when you assign blame that "no one" did this, you
include in that blame that *I* (personally) did not do that thing. Similarly
for each other person here: your posting, as phrased, blamed each of us
*personally* for not having answered your question. 

Each reply has to come from *someone* or some organization. If there is
that no specific person and no specific group with responsibility for replying,
there can be no displeasure that "no one could be arsed to reply"
(disappointment, perhaps, but not displeasure); as there -was- that displeasure,
then there must have been some identifiable person or entity that you felt should
have replied but whom did not. Which person or entity was that?

Please review questions before posting them. Be specific. Use examples of what you mean,
of what you don't mean. Specify boundary conditions, and data classes and value
relationships -- what if we scrambled your data or used -Inf, NaN, or complex(rand,rand)?
