Hi all, don't want to sound like an old fart, but does anyone else get p****d off when someone asks for help you bend over backwards for them and they don't have the decency to post a "cheers for that mate". spent about 40 mins looking something up, writing it up, answered their question and got feck all back, feel like you are wasting your time. rant over! :nono:

Its a shame when other members are not appreciative. Perhaps the member in question will see this thread and feel fit to thank you for your efforts

 

[johnluc]

Has the person in question been online since you gave the advice? Just in case they haven't seen it. Or have they totally blanked what you wrote and continued on with the thread?

 

[johnluc]

yes scott, he started another thread about an hour after my post which was the last post on the thread,

[ScottM]

Ahh, think someone owes you a pint then

If yours is still the last post, they may not have read it... But if they have :nono:

 

[evanvine]

I know where you're coming from JL.
The last one I did was on freezing yeast, not a murmer of thanks!

i don't think that's the case HawKs they asked a specific question and then started another thread about an hour later,
anyway ce'st la vie as they say here,

Comme ci, comme ça, la vie passe. Don't you think that it's all down to forum etiquette??

As they say in Yorkshire JL, "There's nowt so queer as folks" :hmm:

I hope it wasn't me

You often find that people of forums don't often have the same sense of manners that they would in real life. After all your not actually in front of anyone when your typing away. Some people see that as an opportunity to ignore etiquette.

+1 to that,& a belated thanks to anyone who has given advice to me on this forum if I didn't respond.

I give my knowledge freely . . . its the only way I can repay those that passed knowledge on to me . . . . If I get thanks for it then Ok . . . if not that's fine too.

The one thing that really p!sses me off however is when I post something someone asks for a further in depth explanation, and once they have that say "Well I'm going to continue to do it my way" especially when it is obvious that they actually have little knowledge of what tehy are doing or why. . . ."A little knowledge is a dangerous thing"

I'll always listen to every word anyone who has a delorean time machine says

 

[bobsbeer]

Totally agree. Manners cost nought. A thank you goes a very long way.
