What gets me when you put time into a post..

Seems like the right place to say this, and I am nice, honest :D

What gets me on here sometimes is the complexity of posts which people post, and then you reply with factual information which you've confirmed is correct in actually trying to help them, and for it you either get someone saying, "no-no-no," or the original thread poster disappears without any thanks whatsoever. This is human nature after all and reflects the dynamics of the net but I wanted to say it to get it off my chest as I bet it's crossed other people's minds too.

It kind makes you wonder if the posters are just those kind of people that attract problems through their approach or inaction in the first place.

Little rant, aside from that, brilliant forum!! :) It's like Who-wants-to-be-a-millionaire but with super complicated questions. I like it.

    This always gets to me too which is why I try and thank people who have taken time to look things up incase the OP never comes back.

    Its human nature some people have good manners and some people dont. I think it is good manners to thank someone if they have helped you. What gets to me more tho is when people ask for thanks in their signatures because I think that is also very bad manners. I am not directing this at you black saturn, but at anyone who does it. Its my opinion thats all. It gets on my nerves and makes me much less likely to thank.
