Thank You For Your Response

I sincerely appreciate the efforts you made in answering my discussion.

See, many times I really don't have anything to say; I never mean to be rude, but some people think it's intentional. So lately, I've been trying to comment to all responses, even if it does wind up being some meaningless drivel, just so the person will know that "yes, I did read your response, and it was not ignored".

I was with my 16 yr old niece and her friend, in the lingerie department at Jacque Penne'(JC Penneys). The friend picked up an article of buttfloss and goes, "WHAT is THIS?" So we told her and my niece says, "EEEWWW what if someone has tried those on?" and the poor gal throws them screaming that girly scream! We almost peed our pants. You had to be there.............

So THATS why 3 of my discussions were deleted today.

Hehe.. thats the first time I've actually read the rules of Mylot LOL.

Well, right underneath the thank you rule is the one about starting meaningless discussions and it sure seems like a lot of people are getting away with doing that because there are a lot of them out there.

Personally, I like it when someone says Thanks to my response. It shows me that they have actually come back and read what I said. I don't care if they say anything else and I don't think they do it to get more money. I think it is simple politeness. And I have done it myself since then because before they did that on mine, I hadn't thought of it. I like to know that people have come back and read what I took the time to post. Maybe they don't have anything further to say at that point, so a simple thank you is a good way to say they read it. For me, politeness counts a great deal toward respect. It is a shame that now saying thank you is wrong... I don't think it should be wrong to do so...but wrong to expect it to boost your earnings...there is a big difference in that. So, if I should accidently sometime later on, forget that you are the one who doesn't like to be thanked, and I thank you anyway, please forgive me for trying to be nice and let you know I took the time to read your post.

ok,thats all you had to do is tell me and show me,please dont be rude to me,i read them before but i didnt remember till now

The main thing that irritates me is I'm sure there are some out there that simply post the "thank you" and don't actually read what was written.

i do inderstand that,i usually say thank you when someone responds to my post but since its against mylots thats out.but i do understand where you are coming from

Why does it bother you so much that they said thank you and may or may not have read what you said? That is their problem, not yours. You can't tell which ones did read it and which ones didn't whether they say thanks or say nothing at all. I read every post in response to something I said. Sometimes that last response just ends the discussion at that point, sometimes there are things I might want to follow through on. If I have more to say, I say it. If I don't, well, I can either say thanks or I can say nothing. Now if I say nothing, then you would think I didn't follow through and read what was written last. But if I say thank you, then at least you know I was there. If you choose to believe I never read it because I didn't say anything other than thank you, that is your choice to believe. But to ASSUME that I didn't read your response is just so wrong. And to assume that everyone else who says thank you didn't read it is just being judgemental.

I am glad some others have responded that they didn't know it was "illegal" to say thanks on mylot as I didn't know. I am glad there are others who have said thanks and said that they do read the posts. I hope more of us are out there and are not afraid to stand up and say so.

Another point here....sometimes I don't get on here more than once a week. So when I do read and respond to someone it is likely much later than most other responses. And I find that most people tend to close their discussion within just a few hours after original posting. I still make posts, and I still check for responses to my posts. And I find that many times people don't go back to their discussions after they close them and check for later responses...so no one responds to those late responses. Is that any less rude? Wouldn't it be better to go back and say thanks just so people who aren't on here regularly know their response was seen, if not read?

I just don't get what the big deal is here? You know what? If people don't want to read my response, that is THEIR problem, not mine. If they choose to say thank you even though they didn't read it...I still feel they took the time to do that much. And if they are trying to boost their income level by doing it...well we know different...so what's the big deal here? It is their loss, their problem...not mine.

I fully expect because I stood up for myself and my beliefs in being polite enough to say thank you here rather than rudely saying nothing, and standing up for all the others who like to be polite....that my rating might go down. But I don't care about that either. This is supposed to be a place for discussion and to express our own opinions. I don't expect to please people with my opinions. And instead of saying thanks anymore, I will just choose to say nothing and you may never know I was even there.

it dont bother me

I think saying at least thank you is the appropriate thing to do. However I agree that some are just saying thank you to every post. When you get to the 10th response & every reply simply says thank you, it does become s lil obvious. Maybe I'm reading the guidelines wrong, but it says DON'T thank EVERYONE that responds. It does NOT say DON'T say thank you. I find there are always one or two that even thank you is not an appropriate response so I pass over them. I try to say something a lil more meaningful than a plain thank you as I do appreciate each & every response whether I agree with it or not. A discussion is an exchange of ideas & some open my eyes to a different way of looking at the subject.

I've seen that a lot. One guy got banned, came back with a second account, it got banned, and he started a third one to complain about it!

Well until I just read this discussion and the listed rules of do not's posted above, I never saw this before. As I commented earlier, I like to see the thank you's out there and consider it just good manners. Some of us were just brought up that way. I say thank you to some myself. I think that wording of that "rule" should be changed....to something just saying that telling someone thank you will not increase your earnings, but not making it against the rules to be polite. Geesh! What is this world coming to?

well, capirani... i was about to respond and have my own spot in this discussion. But seeing all that you have written or said, you mentioned all the things that i wanna say and I totally agree with you..So, this makes my response a little shorter...

I am guilty of saying "thank you" from time to time, whenever I dont have anything else to say or add..But, true that i just want those who responded to know that i was there and I read what they have posted...

There are people out there, who wants to know if I have read their responses, and saying even just a simple "thanks" make their day, and they do appreciate it..

So, if some people doesn't appreciate that, so be it..to each his own..

i would still say "thanks"...It's not important to me if I dont earn by saying that. What's important is I was there and I read it and I appreciate their effort and time for responding to my discussions..

Do I have to stop saying that just because i will not earn from it?
Or just because some people doesnt like to read my note of appreciation?

I wouldn't sacrifice my being a polite person...

Thanks for saying something in favor of saying thanks. With all the negative comments about thank you's, all of us who enjoy being polite need to say something in defense of it. What a shame that saying thank you needs to be defended. Is this part of the negative turn the world is taking these days?

Amen foxy. That is exactly how I feel about it. Thank you for stating it so eloquently.

Ooopsie, skip that... you already said you'd rather have no response at all. Fair enough.

At least I'm not alone in feeling that way.

Believe me, I've seen discussions with 20-30 responses, and every response had a "thank you for posting" and that was all.

oh dear... that's all I can say... Well, they probably need a short refresher course on the rules.

And it really doesn't take much more time to explain why you're thanking them. But people are either in too much of a hurry or they just don't care.

I understand that it is pretty cheap and lazy to just say "thank you". Whenever thank you is pretty much all i can say, i throw in some extra b.s. about how thank you is all i can say, or make something up just not to be a loser.;)
