on another thread if there hasn't been a response by the original poster of first thread for over two weeks? I would remove first request before re-requesting. Don't want to step on any toes.

Might be reasonable - but perhaps, rather than removing the message, you should update it to say that (e.g.) as the thread-holder seems to be away, or otherwise occupied, you are re-posting the request elsewhere (because you just can't bear to wait for the info... ;-) ). Christine
