    My heartfelt thanks goes out to moooogie.:rolleyes:

    He/she posts on here asking for help to save some money. Several people (me included) give up our time, offer help and manage to save him / her a few quid.

    And what do we get - absolutely nothing.

    No thanks for your help
    No it was a good deal but i got better
    No wow you've saved me £40 thats great

    just plain old b*gger all.

    Thanks, please feel free to ask for help or advice again and i'll be at the front of the q.

    Even more depressingly, the original rude lazy poster has been back on the site, and posted on 3 July on a different thread, but not bothered to reply to thank anyone on this thread. I completely agree with you, Murphy. A bit of gratitude does not go amiss.
  • Whilst i understand these sentiments, do we know that the OP ever actually returned to this thread?

    Dear MSE AC

    No one knows if Mooooogie ever returned to this thread (except the techie that mintors these things).

    Please be assured that i'm not going all flamemungus on this, I was just feeling naffed off at the lack of response that you get from some people after they ask you for help.

    MTC ;)

    There is that... I don't really know if it's actually abuse. Some times people spend hours researching help and information for others. It's nice to help! But one likes to be appreciated, hence the new 'Thanks for the useful post' option.
    NO to pasty tax We won!!!! Just shows that people power works! Don't be apathetic to your cause!
