Politeness in Threads?

I find that atleast a standard "my, that was interesting, now let me add this" would be in order in respect to respect

(unless its spam ofcourse)

Sometimes people reply to the starter of the topic, or someone else a few posts up in the thread who has said something interesting, rather than the person who made the post before them, is that the kind of thing you are referring to?

'cos I gotta' tell you, that's just a matter of practicality, not impoliteness.

Threads would look pretty stupid if we acknowledged every single post made before ours before we added something new.


Hi, Ziggy.

Sometimes I make pointless comments which aren't useful or funny simply because I feel a bit sorry for someone who's put some effort into making a post yet it's been overlooked.

I think doing that is stupid and I try to avoid it where I can ... but sometimes conscience gets the better of me.

I'm just too damn nice :(




Edit: Good point, SnnY :pinch:

i don't acknowledge a lot of people because most of them are on my ignore list

I put the whole board on ignore ,but what this guy said is prob too ;)

:pinch:

I'm just used to rudeness and being ignored :cry: get it off the missus all the time,some of the best posts start as one thing and develope into something totaly different...sort of hi-tech chinese whispers :)

Actually this sort of thing (it's really thread hijacking no?) used to annoy me when all the huggy-brigade inhabited the board. Thankfully most of them have died now.
