1282670	2012-06-19 00:13:00	As a child of the pre-internet age I find myself increasingly out of step with modern times and realize my concept of good manners differs from current standards. Hence I have a question regarding net etiquette. I have recently set up a Flickr page and have received one or two complementary comments regarding some of my photos from strangers. Is it practice to acknowledge these with a return e-mail? Similarly if invited to be a contact with a fellow flickrite is anything more than pressing the confirm button required?	tutaenui (1724)
1282671	2012-06-19 00:29:00	As A child of the pre internet age you were brought up correctly by your parents, unlike the crentious beings that are raised today (myself included) As far as the net goes you are able to respond with a quiet thanks if you wish. Nothing is compulsory. Some people reply to all comments but those who get thousands of views/comments generally ignore them. There is no obligation as such to respond. As with anyone, choose you friends wisely. Only add a friend if you deem them acceptable and trustworthy.	The Error Guy (14052)

I prefer it this way so that I don't get random stuff from people I don't know, and this is also why i refuse to join facebook. I simply don't wan to keep getting emails from Facebook saying somebody commented on your comment about somebody else's comment 2 years ago	gary67 (56)

I have a Flickr account and someone recently asked if he could use one of my pics of an old church I took once. I was quite surprised that he did actually ask me! Good manners on his part.

You can also set it up so only certain people can see or even find you if doing a search. As for reply's, as mentioned , you dont have to if you dont want.	wainuitech (129)
1282675	2012-06-19 01:43:00	Yeah, however it's always nice to receive a reply, lets you know your comments are read / appreciated by the original author ;)	Chilling_Silence (9)

1282677	2012-06-19 01:49:00	I have got a Facebook account. Recently Facebook changed things around and altered the way I had things set up. Every time a friend makes even a minor change to their Facebook page I get an email telling me about the change that they have made. Most of the time I cannot be bothered to look at these changes let alone reply. Most rude of me, I guess. :groan:	Bobh (5192)
