I would have thought it common courtesy to do so. :angry:mad: To give an alternative point of view....I have been guilty of this in the past. I find, for whatever reason, the email 'reminders' that some has posted in a thread to be very 'erratic' here, significantly more so than other sites. Maybe I have a dodgy setting??? Anyways, point being maybe some people don't think there have been replies because they haven't had an e-mail saying so, therefore don't post back? Devils advocate over! :cool:	allblack (6574)
834147	2009-11-27 22:21:00	Well, there could be a reason....even after a good solution has been given within the first couple of replies, every Tom Dick and Harry still want to add their :2cents:, until there are sometimes maybe 2 or 3 pages of responses, many of which become irrelevant as the thread goes off topic, or repetitions of what has already been said.............:stare:That's my feeling, too. Although thanks are a good thing, sometimes the thread does just go way off course, or peter out.	Tony (4941)

Being a checkout manner I sometimes get complete morons who won't say hello back or say thanks after. I don't really need it myself, but it's nice if a customer would say hi and thanks sincerely. Sometimes I'd be surprised by how some big, mean-looking guys would actually smile and say hello and all that, probably make some small talk.	qazwsxokmijn (102)

Did you judge a book by its cover? some of the nicest guys I know are ugly bastards, they make metla look pretty.	plod (107)

Well, the guys looked like they just killed a dude, drank the blood from the skull, then went to the supermarket wanting to buy a coke and some roast chicken.	qazwsxokmijn (102)
834151	2009-11-28 08:57:00	You know when you stop and let some one turn onto the road and they dont acknowledge with a wave or something I feel like ramming them. I used to only have the urge to ram cars with Jesus saves/radio Rhema and baby on board stickers now I have a third category of potential ramees. I only hope my teaching my two kids to say please and thank you will hold them in good stead in later life.	prefect (6291)

834153	2009-11-28 19:25:00	I don't look at it that way. They fixed it and went off to resume whatever they were doing. More posts usually means it didn't fix it or there are further problems.	pctek (84)
834154	2009-11-28 19:45:00	Manners are getting the bit between asking for help and going off to do something else.	Cicero (40)
834155	2009-11-28 20:14:00	Simply bad manners,not always taught these days. I think they were taught more years ago,but I could be wrong. On the contrary Cicero - the level of manners is so low these days, it leads me to suspect that bad manners are indeed being taught. I suspect it is part of the NCEA curriculum... :D	johcar (6283)
