Courtesy Of Providing Information

[Ripple65]

If a member needs information and has some history with reviews I will send them a PM (following board rules) and provide what I know. Is it too much to expect a thank you ? Seems lately that common courtesy has died. Rant over.

I tend to get a response thank you for throwing a lead. Sometimes if someone throws up a question or a request for a good massage and I PM back as opposed to posting publicly I will receive a response les than half of the time. I think guys are just generally busy and don't have much free time.

There's also an email etiquette in the corporate world to not blow up people's email inboxes with unnecessary replies (i.e, "thank you," "gotcha," "," etc. When I worked in that environment, the "thank yous" alone could number in the hundreds on a daily basis, especially when sending out group emails, so unless there was something substantive to reply with, we all just skipped it.

Speaking of group emails, when you hit "reply all" simply to say "thank you" to the OP, and especially when many recipients respond, all those other people receive the "thank you" as well - totally frustrating.

That being said, I think that in this forum, and in social settings, a "thank you" response is appropriate.

If you have time to inquire, you have time to send a thank you.

Some people do, some don't. I don't read anything into it. I don't have time to track who said thanks and who didnt.
