For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.This is something that happens in all categories not just technology, I hope that I am not guilty of it, it does lack courtesy. But that is the way it goes and if being thanked is so important, then you need to think twice about answering. I have on occaision gone back to the thread and sarcastically thanked myself hopeing to prompt a response. I have decided to live with it. At the end of the day it is my choice whether to answer or not.

Yes we know all that, but it is not a matter of expecting an answer for one's own personal ego, but one likes to know if one has been of help to others.
In technology in particular, because it can also help others, when one is thinking of purchasing or even fixing a particular type of IT equipment for example.

It doesn't ruin my day when people don't bother to thank me, but as Chuck says, it would be nice (and useful for others) to know if a reply was helpful.
And I do like the fact that even though AOG and I quite often trade insults over in News, when I answer his questions in Technology, he always take the trouble to post thanks.

AOG....sends me mad. In all sections but particularly in B&S, they come on pleading for help and then when you reply, you never hear from them again.
Some are "windup" merchants, others don't like your answer, but some are just ignorant.
They do not understand that one may actually LEARN from their replies.
