Just to help you out, here's an idea. Instead of starting a new thread on an
extant question (obviously not relevant for something really, really old),
continue the thread with cross-posting, as I did to unify your multiposts.
Even that is likely not to be very helpful, really. Mostly the same people
read and answer questions in both clj.help and clj.programming, so by
multiposting you are actually discouraging the most knowledgeable people from
wanting to help. By sticking with one group or the other, you're getting
substantially the same audience.
It's a good idea to read up on Usenet etiquette, a.k.a., "netiquette". Among
other resources is the "comp.lang.java.{help,programmer} - what they're for
(mini-FAQ 2006-03-31)" message, reposted every few days in both groups so that
everyone has no excuse not to read it. (Notice that it subsumes both the
clj.help and clj.programmer groups, a big, fat clue that they're related.)
Among other things, it advises:
> Don't cross-post between these groups and c.l.j.programmer or .help -- it just
> wastes the time of people reading the general groups.
It also mentions, and links to explanations for, SSCCE (RTFM)
<http://www.physci.org/codes/sscce.jsp>
and
> Before posting read Jon Skeet's "How to get answers on the comp.lang.java.*
> newsgroups" at
<http://www.pobox.com/~skeet/java/newsgroups.html>
The first sentence in that last link after the introductory paragraph is:
> Don't multi-post.
RTFM.
