Finishing/Replying.........When you post a Topic.
I wanted to post somthing about this before.
I HATE it http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/mad.gif when you answer a question or comment on a topic and the person whom posted it,does not EVER respond http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/mad.gif Persons in here take the time to answer problems for free,where a shop might charge. Somtimes they may even go look up somthing in a book,for YOUR answer to a problem. I thank all whom have answered my questions. Just venting http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/rolleyes.gif |
So I guess this means you have to respond to my reply now... http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif

I agree with mustangII460. If it looks like someone went to some trouble or gave serious advice, one should at least acknowledge it. If it's just a comment (like this one), then there's really no need IMHO.

I know what you mean. About 2-weeks ago some new member posted in the windsor form asking what the ratios are in the T-5, and how to determine your MPH depending on what gear your in. So, I give him a link to a site that has the ratios, and typed up a sizeable math formula with a description for him and didn't even get a thanks.
Granted, he was new, but it kinda pissed me off. ------------------ 1991 GT, AOD, Moroso Cold Air, 3.73s, Pulleys, 3-chamber(the left one fell off-NO time+No Money=College), FMS c-springs, and KYBs |
I can understand how you feel but i got a question for you now, if someone asks a tech question and gets a bunch of advice from more than one person what do you do then, thank each one?? or is a simple thanks everyone enough??
|
A simple 'Thanks to all who responded' would be enough as it shows you appreciate the replies. Some folks just don't think and I suppose some just don't care, but MustangII460 has a valid point.
If you think putting responses on the messageboards and never receiving acknowledgment is annoying, try getting a steady stream of e-mail asking for tech advice, and only receiving a 'thanks' from about 20% of those you responded to. This is 1/2 the reason that I never reply to e-mailed tech questions anymore; the other 1/2 being that I simply don't have the time and of course, I don't have a lot of the answers folks are seeking, either. Advice to all who choose to ask for help from 'strangers': Learn how to say 'Thank You'. |
A-men Mr.50.

what if someone says thanks in advance in their question? http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/confused.gif just wondering about the "technicalities" of this discussion.

Hmmm...
You know, that's never really bugged me too much. I know my answers are appreciated, especially if it's able to help somebody. I know firsthand just how hard it can be to post something on this messageboard with a crappy dial up. Navagating is even hard. Connections timing out, 10 minutes to post a "Thanks" It's just an added bonus to see a thanks. I reply to help people, not to receive a "Thank you" If they do actually respond with a "thanks" does that require me to respond with a "Your welcome?" It's only polite. The net isn't like real time conversation, in which case I always thank people, or tell them they are always welcome. Bottom line, I'd like to get thanked, but I don't let it get to me when I don't get one. |
I totally agree.
I generally put Thanks at the end of my original post 99% of the time. This means that I am thankful to all who respond. I go back anyway though to respond to people who have helped me out by way of a post or via email and thank them personally, especially if their advice helped me out in any way. See my old post in here thanking a bunch of guys. Gratitude should be expressed to anyone who takes time out of their busy day to help out a fellow Stanger. I've even done web design for people who have helped me out http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif ------------------ Too much to list.

"Thanks for being a *&%^%%&%&^ (&*(*&(*^&*(, and by the way I spent 13 (*&(&(*^*%^ hours gettin with your (*&^*^*^&*^ girlfriend cause you don't know what you are talking about!!!!" I really don't like those "thanks" too much, LOL. |
Yes Unit, I always appreciated those "GDMFCsking responses you've made. LOL.

We're just joking arn't we ? I never thought we actually flamed each other did we? Didn't mean to if I did.

Speaking for the dial up users here, posting can be quite a pain at times.
I agree that a thanks is always appreciated, but I assume that most people on this board appreciate the info that is found here without it always having to be said. |
God yes we're joking, people are getting too serious around here.
Like juiceman and I were gonna kill each other in Windsor forum on the ditchin the EFI topic http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/rolleyes.gif Sorry, takes a lot more than that to get under my skin. Usually, hehehe! |
