So many of the posts start with a question, most get replies often from regular contributers, how nice it would be if the topic ended with a post from the originator expressing those two words...

Thank you!!

Couldn't agree more! even better when the poster tells you how they've progressed with their problem.

Regards,

Paul

HI guys I have just read your post - and before I read this I was thinking exactly what you have both commented on - Its probably why I read a lot of posts and dont bother answering them because very few people on here appear to appreciate the time and trouble that a lot of people go to to help people out - I suppose it just goes to show what an ungrateful world it is that we now live in -

Good luck with your future posts and "thank you" for raising and commenting on this subject.

Now, now SK…play nicely… ;o)

I'd like to add my own personal note of thanks [and that of our hosts] to all of the regulars who take the time to reply to the myriad of questions that appear day in and day out. Your excellent advice helps make these forums a great place to come to for numerous people. So on their behalf, a very large ‘thank-you’ from us to you.

If you've posted a question and received a helpful reply, let the member know how much you appreciate their help. Even if you don’t agree with their advice [or opinion], a 'thanks, but no thanks' can still go a long way. You can also show your appreciation and help other members see the quality of that advice by rating the individual posts by clicking on the ‘star’ rating in the top right hand corner of the post. This also helps to increase a member’s 'points' tally – and gives back a bit of ‘kudos’. In these expensive times, civility costs nothing, after all…

Here is a recent contribution from the OP.

IanP: Backfoot.....it is as simple as first indicated just as my next point was, unfortunately it's not simple enough for you.....I've had dealings with you before........you're a dick!

Thank you. ;-)
