Acknowledgements

[carlton23]

I notice people asking advise on many subjects on Answerbank are still not bothering to acknowledge that they are thankful when receiving intelligent and helpful answers to their queries. I`m sure just a short `thanks` doesn`t take too much of their time, especially when the answer involves sometimes several minutes research by the experts to post `links` etc. It`s much appreciated to know if you received and understood the answers given......There, I`ve had my moan, and now to bed.` Night all`

[looobylooo]

i agree.... it only takes a minute to thank people for their help and time

[Philtaz]

Totally agree. I don't actively seek thanks, just confirmation from people that they've received/read the answer they were looking for, given that I took the time to provide it for them!

[BertiWooster]

I totally agree .

I always try to remember to thank people for their help

[carlton23]

Three thanks`s to you all.

Why all this sudden hue and cry about thanking respondents, which appears to have cropped up in several areas over the last few weeks.
I personally don't give a damn as I don't tend to re-visit a topic that I have answered from my own knowledge. I take it as read that the person asking a query will be grateful for any respectable answer.

Its just like life you know some people dont say thank you when you let the pass its just about manners some people have some some people havent. Yer it annoys me when I;ve given an answer and I;m wondering if I helped but I wouldnt lose any sleep over it or waste time putting a post about it.

[Tizzi24]

I agree carlton, I always try and say thanks - good manners cost nothing.

Carlton, Pot and Kettle in the same sentence spring to mind:- http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Technology/Comp uters/Question793514.html

Give Carlton a chance fadeout, maybe he had to go out & do real life things after posting that Q.

I agree, it's always good to have your answer appreciated but if it it only required a short factual reply I try not to bother too much about thanks.
What does irritate me is when someone posts a debate/discussion type question, lots of people answer & the poster never returns! Do they strike up conversations in real life & walk away as soon as the other people join in I wonder? :o)

[Mr Veritas]

I agree too,
I am fed up with searching out (sometimes) difficult answers and receiving NO thanks.
If people can't be bothered to say thank you,cannot they at least give a star rating.That way you would at least know they had seen the answer.
The way it is now you just feel like doing something for nothing!

[carlton23]

fadeout.....don`t follow!!!!! I always reply to posts, `cus oi wer bort up proper loike`

[carlton23]

Mr Veritas, my sentiments exactly, thankyou also.

[Ankou]

its about time you thanked everyone for replying isnit.

i dont know what the all the fuss and caboodle is about really. so what if you get thanked or dont? next youll be asking for a biscuit or a round of applause.

[karma22]

It is nice to be thanked, appreciated and acknowledged and it doesn't cost you anything so yeah I agree it can be annoying.

But like the buddha says its good to do things just for other people and not expect anything in return. Not a thing.

[carlton23]

Ankou, Go back to chatterbank, there`s a good boy.

Evenin' all! I post occasionally on here and when I do, I always try to thank everyone for their responses even if they are not in agreement with what I have said, it shows appreciation and respect for the fact that others have bothered to spend the time to post their thoughts and advice. The first time I ever posted on this site was to ask for legal advice about my partner who had been attacked by a stranger. I was extremely touched by the thoughtful and helpful responses I received and made sure that I thanked everyone and also kept them informed as to the outcome of the case.
And yes Robinia I agree it is infuriating when people ask a question and then never return to their post! Makes you wonder why they bother!
Cheers all
Sue
