The good thing is, you aren't exactly hounding the people. I would say try not to get irritated, but still try to reach them intermittently, and also I would say don't hold the expectation of a response in your head. Then you'll be so excited and suprised when they do finally write you back!

Good luck.

I was thinking this same principle and you beat me to it.
Sounds like this is one of those times to truly practice Buddhism... that disappointment arises when we do have an attachment to an outcome.
I totally agree with what you've done.... sounded tactful and honest. With that, I'd let it go and practice releasing any ideas of control over whomever and whatever.
Sounds like you're heading that way.
