Agreed, see also similar thread currently runningNoticed lately people's asking questions about this and that, get a couple of good replies and then dissappear into the ether. At least say thanks i've sorted it.
I imagine that would be a bit time consuming for an unpaid forum admin.On some of those that 'disappear' I am genuinely interested in how the problem was solved as it would remain on here on record for future reference. Very annoying when they just disappear.
Can the mods not send them an e-mail politely asking for the answer ?
Thank you for a great post.I'm a bit more philosophical about it. Yes, of course it's kind and good manners to reply saying yes or no, it did or didn't fix it, but I find a very large number of people are selfish, unkind and have no manners.
It's a bit like letting people out at busy junctions when you are impeding their way (unkind selfish people still won't help you out the other way around), opening doors for people (when the recipient blanks you and others let the door almost slam in your face), saying hello when out and about locally in the countryside.
These are all thing I do because I try to live my life being kind to others where I can. I do it because I think society (or this forum) are a better place as a result, and I'm not going to let what I will just generalise as 'self absorbed takers' detract from what I think are positive values in myself.
If we all fell to the level of the selfish takers, society would be in a much worse place.
I have thought about 'not helping' (generally) as a result of the selfish takers, but I've managed to accept that is how it is, but I was thinking if I was going to continue to let it annoy me, I'd be better off not helping just to be at more peace with myself.
But yes, I haven't found Buddhist monk zen yet quite yet, so I still find it a bit annoying!
Use the 'contact us' link below and suggest it then.It would not exactly be a thousand emails , we only have a one or two who disappear each month at the most .
Clk320x, thank you for the like, lol
They may not be "selfish, unkind and have no manners", they may just be forgetful.
That's where my thinking is at - for some at least.It's fascinating how we react to responses, and lack of responses. I do wonder whether or not there are times when someone joins the forum with a query, gets some helpful advice, resolves the issue, then thinks to themselves "I must pop back to say thank you." But of course most of us think of things we must do, but never get around to it. They may not be "selfish, unkind and have no manners", they may just be forgetful.
Bullseye.Can't talk for others but I help where I can just to help - not for praise.
Unfortunately it's all about "take" but with no "give".Noticed lately people's asking questions about this and that, get a couple of good replies and then dissappear into the ether. At least say thanks i've sorted it.
