mry716 Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Politeness costs nothing other than a few moments of time. Perhaps all those who post on here and other forums elsewhere might remember that. In the last 6-8 weeks I have added positive comments to 9 posts yet the original instigator of the post has not thanked me or seemingly even noticed my response. I have also sent various items to folk FOC (including postage) yet 2 of the 5 recent occasions have never bothered to say ‘Thanks’ let alone tell me they have received them. I have had to send another email to ensure the items arrived. Please can we all try to be a little more responsive to those that offer help even if the help offered or received is not always as required.

I'm sure i thanked you for the help that you gave me, if i didn't then i apologise as the advice you gave me was spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 I have given quite a bit of stuff away on here and have always had a thankyou from the person concerned, that is not the reason I do it, but it only polite to do so - I wouldn't dream of not thanking someone. I gave something to someone on another forum recently (P&P at my cost) and I had to chase them up just make sure they had received it, very poor in my books. As for advice, I agree with Nick MRY and good few others are knowledgable and very useful contributors to this forum, and being able to tap into those resources for nothing is something that shouldn't be taken for granted.

pin Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Heh, just noticed this as I go through writing all my bisley "thank you letters" to all the kind souls who put up with me, my snoring, **** jokes and fed me, watered me and let me shoot their toys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulkyuk Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 I totally agree - politeness costs nothing and by the looks of it some of the gear MRY and Stuart has sent out does not cost either, if these guys have the generosity to give you stuff then you should have decency to at least thank them.

Stu S Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 Well, i may not have been here very long, but i like to think that i am a polite and pleasant person, and i firmly believe that manners cost nothing, but can get you everywhere if used properly. A lesson i am working very hard to teach my 2 1/2 year old at the moment, and it seems to be paying off! Everyone comments on his manners, so we must be doing something right!

Dunkield Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 I have said this before on here, but like when I was growing up, our son gets nothing unless he asks for it properly and says thankyou. We have only ever had glowing reports from his friends parents after he has visited and on his school reports. Costs nothing, but speaks volumes about a person IMHO.

tulkyuk Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 used the second strongest spring out of the 2 you sent and didnt bother with the spacer - trigger is spot on now though - cheers Shaun your a star mate. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
