Lo:
Personally i don't care if somebody drops a private email saying thanks
or if posted on board saying thanks....it does show they at least got
what you wrote. I don't expect it though (maybe cause i doubt people
like anything i say anyways?) and i'll guess that many other people are
this way too. The problem would be when not only do you get a thank
you, but another 50million questions to you privately...like you become
a personal information database for the person. That i'm sure has
happened to more than one person here (not me yet thankfully) and i'm
sure its annoying.
While I'm at it. Thanks all you who have written on anything i've had
questions about, i tend to reply only occationally, but take heed, i
appreciate everything.
