    I'm quite new to this comping lark myself so apologies if this question's a bit dumb, but what difference does it make when the thanks are given as long as thanks are given?

    Thanks for asking. People who post competitions go to a lot of effort to search for and post competitions to give us compers a chance of winning, without them we would each win ZILCH. For that reason alone I thank their post and any subsequent posts of people who provide answers, find duplicate posts, request a merge etc etc.

    The issue is that PorkPie didn't thank the person who posted the competition when they entered it, only when they won the prize but had they not posted the competition PorkPie wouldn't now have a Corsa.

    What makes it worse is that PP never took the time to thank the poster of the competition in his/her posting informing us all of their lucky win Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    Sorry but it really gets my goat. :mad:

    Perhaps they are living up to their user name and telling porkies over the amount they have won!!

    Either that or they are extremly lucky!
