I would just like to thank a bunch of people from this forum, that e-mailed me with help on scientific papers. I have acquired about 15 papers relating to the topics I am interested in.

On the other hand, 2 weeks ago, I e-mailed about 25 various zoo's, museums etc.. around America, Europe etc.. and am disgusted by the response. I had 1 person reply, apologising that they cannot help, which I thanked for replying. However, that is it, I know for a fact that those particular people have information I would like, either for sale, or for free, but not a single person could appear to care less.

Is there a trick? Am I supposed to pretend to be someone I am not, to make them take notice?

Anyhow, thanks to you guys who have been much more helpful.
