Asking for help can mean asking for trouble at times...

I was wanting to ask for help with something that has been plaguing me for a LONG time... I did just that within a Yahoo! Group dedicated to JavaScript and AJAX technologies about 2 weeks ago, but when I checked today, the response I had received was not so helpful in the least. The group owner, Jonas Raoni, basically said that his group wasn't  Yahoo! help site, well, that much is blindingly obvious, Mr. Raoni.

I had to use both another group, and Yahoo! Answers to see if I can get the help that I desire.

Here is the message I sent to that JavaScript group:

Whenever I try to use the "Personal Assistant" on the main Yahoo page, I don't get the windows to slide open (I don't have that problem whenever I go to AOL's main page). How do I re-enable a previously disabled AJAX? Is there a way to do that? Any help will be appreciated.

With all that trouble, I think I shouldn't have ever joined that JavaScript group in the first place, seeing as how I was primarily denied help. I feel unsatisfied with how the request of help failed. It's not a good thing to refuse to help on an excuse such as "This isn't a Yahoo! site, email Yahoo! about it." No, that's not what Jonas Raoni should have done. He should have made any effort to help, but it's too bad that he didn't help me.
