A first for me since I became a member a year ago.

This is a first for me. Today someone requested my friendship and after going through my
regular routine of going through their profile page, I accepted. I just received a
private message and it was from the person who requested my friendship.
He sent me a personally message to thank me for accepting his friendship. I have never
had this happen to me before and I have to admit it felt good to be acknowleged this way.
It made me feel really good that someone here cares enough to thank me. I think this
site is absolutely wonderful because of the people here. There are some really nice
members here and I will probably never leave this site.
So have you received, or sent, a private message thanking you for adding them as a friend?
This is the first for me. But now that I have recieved one I think I will do the same
thing and thank a person for requesting me or thank them for adding me when I request
them. Neat thing to do, I think.
Alrighty then, talk to you later my friend,
Have a good mylotting day, Chris

Hi chris, I’m the lazy type of person so I never send any message to thank any friends here for accepting me as his friend. You are right. There are so many good mylot users here. I really appreciate those who are very courteous ones and they usually will respond one of my discussions before requesting me as their friends. In return, of course I will try my best to reply one of their discussions as well. If someone accepted my friend request, I usually would express my gratitude by answering one of his discussions if there is any which I’m really interested instead of sending a private message to say thank you. For me I would feel much happier to receive a response than a private message.
I would send a private message to friends only if I need to answer their personal questions when receiving their pm, or if I really have some personal information to share with them.
posting and have a nice day.

I don't accept a person's friendship unless I can respond to their discussions. If I
can't respond to a few of them then, for me, that means we don't have enough in common
so why add them as a friend if I can't help them out by responding and helping them to
earn more money.

Everyone has his own criteria to choose a mylot friend as long he feels happy and satisfy to do so.
I don’t spend time to read the profile of the person who requests me as friend and usually I would approve him request straight away. What I like to do is I just like to set the notification button of friends with common interest and like to have mutual communication on. So I could respond to their new discussions and comments easily and more conveniently.
Nowadays I could know clearly by checking my mail box every now and then to respond and to leave comment on any of my and my friends' discussions easily. I don’t have to waste any extra time to search by going through the started page and responded page anymore.

No I have never sent a thank you note asking for someone to add me as a friend. But I think I will start. That is a great way to show gratitude and appreciation to your fellow My Lotter. We should all try doing this! :-)

[i]Hi chris,
Honestly, I haven't tried doing that but I received a messages thanking me also or some of my friends are even dropping nice messages in my profile....
I agree that we have a lot of good people around here, sad to know that some of my good friends are inactive this time! hmmm...wish they'll come back soon and that they are all safe![/i]

I've been here almost 2 years and have gotten probably a handful of these. Although it is nice to receive them I don't feel it is necessary for members to send them out. I myself don't bother sending any out. And with PM's not working the majority of the time it could be more of a hassle than it is worth to send thank you's out to those that accepted my friendship.

Well that is great. I think that a little personal personality is a good thing. I always try to be considerate in my dealings here on MyLots...not sure if it works though. Great news...
