your new thread would last longer if you didn't all spend the first two/three pages saying thankyou for a new thread!

I sometimes wonder just how much more we'd all accomplish if no-one ever said hello, thank you or goodbye to each other (those parting greetings, in particular, alone can sometimes take ages:eek:), but that would just be impoliteness. (It does strike a slight chord with me though: it can be, let me be bluntly honest and truthful again, a little irksome sometimes to have to do these niceties (in RL) - pointless social things that don't achieve anything - although yea, they do make other people happy which I suppose is a good enough reason - but yes my slightly autistic nature does mean I ponder issues such as this one on a regular basis - I guess I just often wonder "why?" in respect of everything:eek:.)

Yes, but a 'thank you' doesn't cost anything - and it's all about saving money:)

Wrong! (:eek::oHow dare I exclaim this?)
Stopping to say 'thank you' does cost time, and therefore money:).







Although despite disagreeing on your basis, I agree on a different basis instead and, on that, I still think thank you's a good thing (thank yous that are meant that is, not ones that are saying the opposite of what they mean - e.g. 'thank you' to someone who is actually a bore, now that is not a nice thank you, depending on the tone in which it is said).

You would be at home on Kronos (Klingon homeworld), they do not have a word for hello or thank-you. Only problem being that most things are achieved by fighting or killing, you become the captain of a starship by killing your superior, repeatedly LD

but you could do that by simply thanking the first post

Let's try that next time. Em, um...:)

Ok, whoever starts the next thread in however many weeks in the future, I'll just thank the post and otherwise ignore it. See if it works, give it a go!!
