Is there any way of rounding up the unanswered queries and put them somewhere accessible, so that newer people could have a go?

The shortest ever response delay was 0 minutes (though not for a lyrics request) when Bert answered a response correctly with the three words

It sure can

It was in this thread though Joe's consolidation policy for threads makes it difficult to spot now.

Has anyone got the lyrics to "The Old 49"?

This is the story of the Old 49.
Fastest locomotive on the Santa Fe Line.
She left Baltimore at a hellava dash
She got there on time, and she did not crash.

well - it's not so much the original posters - but anyone coming along afterwards looking for the same information.

Thanks BTW for transcribing the lyrics - I wouldn't have found the music at the Levy site if you hadn't brought up the threads.

The same sort of thing happened to me almost exactly one year ago.
The original person posting responded (Earl) after over 5 years!!!

Here's that thread.

MMario,

I was searching for the words to "When the Snowflakes Fall Again" and only found those two earlier queries. So I transcribed the words from recordings I have and posted them and answered the queries with a link.

An even better question is, will the original query posters ever see their answer after waiting 5+ years? I have a vision of someone sitting in front of laptop with cobwebs stretched between their head and the laptop...waiting for an answer...

I know several people have managed to answer queries to the forum in 1 minute - and just a while ago a question was answered after 5 years and 8 months. Does anyone know of a thread where the question has been answered that took LONGER then that?

This tickles my funny bone - because it just goes to show that sooner or later someone on the cat DOES seem to manage to be able to answer just about any question asked here.

Speaking of which - should you grow bored* - don't forget that up in the quicklinks box are links to the database for "unanswered queries"

* notice how subtly I did not mention The Great Tune Hunt?
