In Your Experience - So How Many Come Back & Say Thank You?

I guess mine is about the same percentage as you mentioned & like you said, there are others that are not too bothered about it. But I guess to me, manners are still manners so I always express my gratitude as it's something that's in-built & comes out automatic!~

Well, guidelines or not, I guess I've acquired such a habit myself? Maybe I'm just long winded? Haha!~It's just that I'm the expressive type but you do have a point there as long as there is an acknowledgment or else the discussion will be never ending like "thanks", "no problems", "no, I really appreciate, so thanks again", etc, etc, etc, haha!~

Totally understood!~ Just like I mentioned when I started the discussion I wasn't looking for anything but just like to observe thingsYes, I agree that sometimes just replying to the responses of the people can be an overwhelming task especially when we're busy & time does not permit much activity here. "I give a best response because I think that the member has contributed something very worthwhile in a discussion that I have created and I see that as thanks enough" - GOOD POINT!~ PMs of thanks - very rare occasions indeed.

Yup, totally agree!~ It's a good habit!~You should start more discussions actually so I can come & respond to them, haha!~ Your discussions are actually quite interesting as it's nature is different than mine as mine are more technical stuff, haha!~

Oh okThat's something new!~ I don't think you should feel awkward & think that we though as people are always entitled to their perceptions & opinions but as long as your conscience is not pricking you I guess there's nothing wrong in that!~All the best!~

Wow, sounds like a calculative issue - responding only when someone responds to you!~ And yeah, it can be very irksome with the insincere mono replies, haha!~By the way I wasn't aware it's prohibited in the guidelinesWell, maybe people just use that to prolong discussions to try and make more money as in earnings?

It is not prohibited in the Guidelines.
It is prohibited to say ONLY 'thank you'.

It is so easy to go back and say 'thank you' and add something else too and therefore stay well within the Guidelines don't you think?.

Put it this way, where there's a will there's a way

Thanks for the clarifications!~Phew!~ For a while I thought manners had to be thrown into the bin, haha!~I normally don't just say "thank you" as you know I can be chatty or some might consider as long winded, ahem

Chatty zweeb, chatty and not long-winded!

Haha!~OK, chatty it is, haha!~Yet another clarification, haha!~

Someone just pointed out that it's prohibited in the guidelines? Read the response above yours!~ Maybe I need to go through the guidelines again!~

Zweeb please read my comment above

Thanks!~ I've already read!~ Thanks again for the clarifications. And I thought I missed something in the guidelines areaNow thanks for saving me the trouble to go through the guidelines again!~

So you've said it - you be the difference!~ The rest will follow suit!~ It's called leadership by example!~

Well said, well said!~ That's why I always like you around as when it comes to things like that you're one of the veterans that knows how to go about, haha!~If really the one is disallowed from expressing one's gratitude then I guess this discussion will be deleted sooner or later as the admins wouldn't want an unnecessary uprising, haha!~

Hahaha!
Is it only the veterans that are logical?

I think it has a lot to do with 'well that won't earn me anything so I'm not going to do it' - sad Nowadays, offline too, if it doesn't pay it's just discarded

I wonder what happened to gallantry & knights in shining armour? Hahaha!~But maybe spoiledbrat there was just being cautious not to step over the guidelines to avoid unnecessary trouble?

Oh spoiledbrat knows the Guidelines off by heart too!
There is though a way to detour that bit and not have it on our conscience by adding a wee bit extra - as many of us already do.
I never thank for responses on my discussions but I do find a lot os other stuff to say

Hahaha~!Yes, you do have a lot to sayIt takes one to know the another? So chatty you said? Haha!~

Just like offline
My favorite friends on here are the ones that talk back and forth with me too - the chatty ones!

like me MysD lol.. get the kettle on hehe.

I thank people for giving me a BR, just polite in my view and as you pointed out MysD it can be incorporated into further comments.

Haha!~I love people who are intelligent when it comes to communicating!~ So let the chatty ones come!~ All are welcomed!~ Haha!~

Aliceeeeeee!
I think Zweeb just might have time for a cuppa too - unless he's super duper busy today too (but it doesn't seem like it )

Well, it's 11.28pm already here, haha!~So I guess super duper busy would be starting again in like about 10 hours time? Haha!~

anyone bring biscuits?

I shall be sleeping in 10 hours from now Zweeb - we must sort this out better next time
My turn for the bikkies

Bikkies as in - SAY NO TO ECSTASY & you keep shaking your head from left to right? That's the best advertisement yet!~ Haha!~

What are you talking about zweeb?

LOL maybe on some E's!

Haha!~I googled & found out that Bikkies<<--also a slang for ecstasy!~ Haha!~

Oh dear!
I must be careful or I shall be getting myself arrested
... and all because I wanted some cookies with my tea

OMG! Bikkies is ecstacy?! lol... ok I will use the proper word from now on 'biscuits'

Yeah, I didn't know until I googled it so we all learn a new thing!~And yes, better be careful less we might be perceived as pushers, haha!~

But I AM a pusher and I thought that was obvious by now!
I am a myLot pusher
I am trying to push users into commenting on their discussions - and fortunately some are taking the hint!

Yes I know it's very obvious, but the authorities might think you're using that as an undercover for your bikkies, haha!~

Hahaha an undercover pusher me?

Yeah, haha!~Yes, with a ninja maskhaha!~

I've come back zwweb!
Not only to say thank you but to say that it has made my day seeing you back here again I haven't seen you on for ages or heard your laughter and you are missed. We need Lotters like you cheering us up on here so I hope it was only a temporary 'super-duper' moment and now we will have you here again

Take care, both of you!!

Proper etiquette or not I'm not sure but I think it's something that's in-built in me, haha!~But it's not a big issue or whatever, just a thought that came to me so I started the discussion as like I did mention, I love to do observations, haha!~

I guess that I have been lucky that many have responded to my posts and I to try to to their posts on my topics. Some I dont think are on as often as others and just by the time they are back on, may not remember to respond. I dont hold it against anyone as I know all are doing what they can or want to to make a few $$s here and to see what new is being discussed.

Yeah, we shouldn't hold anything against anyone as a lot of people are very busy & I too at times when I come back I can't really remember which discussions I have responded to as I can do quite a substantial amount in a day. But the notifications do help as without them I might be lost!~I think some have their notifications turned off as well so that might be one of the reasons. Anyway, all the best!~
