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:.)0 -

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).0 -

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 LDWhat is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0 -
