Just plain rude....
I've noticed how some members on here ask questions on the Forum, get a few good answers, and even get U2U's sent to them with
information, and you never get a 'thank you' or any acknowledment at all on the thread.
Is it just me being a stickler for a bit of politeness, or has anybody else noticed this?
If you're not living life on the edge you're taking up too much room.

I think if people have received assistance they should acknowledge it, especially if it is a U2U.
There are other examples of rudeness on this forum too............

Sorry, yes, I didn't mean you never get a thank you for anybody, just a certain few.....

What always gets me is the incorrect use of their they're and there!!!! Grrrrrr, it isn't hard.
I always try and thank people for their help. Especially if its a U2U.
Amnesty time though, when i posted for info on projectors someone sent a U2U to me offering a spare LCD screen. I deleted the message and can't
remember who it was from. Anyway, whoever it was thank you for your offer but I managed to liberate a large LCD from the the house

Probably
Probably the first signs of being a 'grumpy old man', you start to notice a drop in standards of everything,and you start saying 'in
my day' a lot.
Thanks for this thread Jasp.

I find it galling when people ask a question re-something or other, you reply, and then nothing, you don't even know if they read your, and
others, answer. as far as forgetting your threads, just stick them in "Add to favourits" and then check for answers. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Cheers Ray

Well I apologies for my now spelling but i am dyslexic (I wish I knew who called it dyslexia they are one sick person!)...
Agree about people not saying thanks, but it's not really something we can do much about, it's just the "modern way", not a
good way but still.. Don't take it to heart, I would allways say thanks for a U2U...

It is annoying yes, not just for the thoughtlessness, but you don't know if your input helped...
Mind you, it's not as annoying as sending items FOC to forum members and having to assume they've arrived, I say assume 'cos no
doubt they'd have been in touch if they'd not arrived

I even sent a U2U to a guy to check if the FOC part i sent had arrived, no answer so i dont bother keeping bits just in case someone might need them
anymore....i even threw a pair of cortina uprights in the skip last month.

There should be a written test before people are allowed on the forum. Spelling and Punctuation taken into account
Use Firefox it spell checks as you type, even on here!
Hate it when people don't reply, if they have found a solution to their problem. Just means the next person who wants to know has it ask
again!

I always try to remember to say thanx, did it just now on my thread asking about Jag X type!
I find the easiest way to keep track of threads is just to search your own name on the "search" doodah.
I too have sent parts out for free & not been thanked, I DO find that really ignorant!
You missed one - their, there & they're!
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

And when you have something for sale, you'll get the 'pm sent' response, trying to put a marker down even if they have just a
question or a shitty offer.
I know when I have a pm
And we need a few more smilies, like a w4nker one to start with
