No News from "Ask a Scientist"

It's been just about four weeks and I have not received a response from the "Ask a Scientist" website. I would like to think that my question was so thought provoking that there is currently an international debate in the scientific community about the possibility that the existence of DNA should indicate that life is present. This, however, is probably not the case. Although I still like the idea that an archive of information is available to assist students with homework, I am currently not very fond of the idea of submitting a question to this website with the promise of receiving an answer within a week's time. I'm afraid that if my students were to experience this, it would discourage them from participating in similar kinds of websites in the future.
