Does it Bug You When Members Don't Thank You?

[Krikit 1,164]

After you and/or other members have gone out of their way to politely respond to another member's question, does it bother you that they don't post a thank you for your input?

Not really... I have pretty low expectations as far as this board goes... esp with newbies who don't really know their netiquette.

I keep having faith in my fellow human, so I am constantly disappointed but unfailingly optimistic that they will do the right thing. You'd think I'd learn.

I know! Maybe I'll just go through each unacknowledged thread and post a "You're welcome" message! Kinda like I do when I open the door for someone and they walk right through without saying anything.

NO....I DONT EXPECT ANYTHING FROM THEM

NO. When I help I don't to expect thank you's but it's still better to hear them say it to let us know they appreciate it.

Kinda like you do with kids when they don't remember their manners....

It's just the right thing to do, IMO.

No, but thank you for asking. I would imagine that you have not given much thought to thanking those who have taken part in your poll. I also do not expect a waiter to follow me to the parking lot and fall to their knees thanking me for the tip I left for them. Most information here is gratuitous and I do not think most expect a thank you, but it never hurts to be grateful and to express that gratitude.

Nagi, I agree that a thank you is the right thing but I don't think one should expect it nor be too put off when a thank you is not forthcoming. Politeness can go along way toward developing good relationships here and in most aspects of our lives.

It bugs me if I've typed out a detailed response and only they thank the person who wrote something inane with a attached to it.

I agree! Not that I've really had this happen to me, but I imagine it would annoy me if it did, and I feel for those whose posts are ignored.

Thank you's are cool, but it bugs me more when someone asks the same question (or states the should-now be corrected info) over and over again despite it being answered a few times over previously. I just wind up ignoring the subsequent requests.

lol @ Jenn

Doesn't matter. It's Divine to Forgive! Not many people understand that.
