What is it with people? Rant warning
I have recently replied to a few U2U's where people have asked me for info about stuff. I have spent time giving as full an explanation as I can
in order to help, they read the U2U and that's it - no thanks for that Mark, no cheers that's been useful, not even a sorry that's
not what I wanted but thanks anyway - just nothing 
Is it just me? I always say thank you when someone is kind enough to take the time to help me. grrrr
Rant over
Cheers
Mark

But if they reply with a 'thankyou' are you then expected to return a 'you're welcome' ?
But I do agree, common courtesy and manners don't cost anything. And U2U's are free, not like a txt

Which reminds me... a couple of guys have asked me for thoughts on the RS4 and RX8 installs, but during a U2U 'tidy', I zapped their
messages too. Sorry... if the peeps are reading this then please message me again!
Getting back OT though... yes, agreed!

I have sold a couple of things to some members, I was hoping that I would have posted it on Monday but being back at work after a week of holidays and
the workload, i didn't manage to do so.
I u2u everybody to say i am sorry. Everyone was very understanding and where fine with it.
I still feel bad though.

It's the same on Freecycle. People ask for things, you reply offering and you hear no more. Peasants!
I'm addicted to brake fluid, but I can stop anytime.

I don't think a "you're welcome" is inappropriate, I've been known to do that

It's not just them!
I'm guilty of it- you've just reminded me I owe someone a reply to an unprompted helpful u2u.
Ah! the guilt!
Will send it ASAP now!
Cheers,
James

I know what you mean.
- Its like the 'why done people leave feedback on ebay' thread. Often hearing nothing back is a good thing (speed camera?) but even more
often its nice to get a thankyou. Otherwise your left feeling empty.

reminds me:
People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God;
It was never between you and them anyway.
Please feel free to correct my bad English, i'm still learning. Your Dutch is awfull! :-)
