Spot on.

I have often wondered what was the best answer to some of the questions.

I think it would be worth while to go back through the archives at some of the questions that we have asked and post what worked.

Hi Rus,

I have posted a number of times and have for most of them received constructive and helpful responses. I have also responded to others queries and hopefully added value.

I started out thinking I wanted to respond personally to all who had helped me.

When I "help" (hopefully) someone else I don't care if they don't respond. In this day and age threads quickly move down the page and who knows how often each person visits.

I guess I also don't want to unneccessarily clog up the servers etc. and think that if we all give and get it works itself out.

I do still try to thank respondents from time to time but my initial threads tend to "thank respondents in advance". Maybe you think this is lip service but I suggest this is more efficient.

For all who have responded to my questions......Thanks.

I always try to respond to all who answered or contributed to my questions. If people can take the time to answer, its not hard for me to thank them. Totally agree

I totally agree, there's such a thing *shock, horror* as good manners.
So if you've replied to any of my questions and feel left out, my apologies and thank you.
I always try and thank people, or at least reply in some way but sometimes people are so generous that it's difficult to keep track.
There are so many people on this forum with different 4wd experiences, knowledge and just plain personality (!) that it's quite unique in many ways.
Lets hope that people are never discouraged from contributing by the mindless selfishness of those who feel that they don't need to say "thanks."
Thankfully they are in the minority.
