Apparently some people do not like to be thanked for their answers. Here's the solution.. just write "please do not thank me"! That way the questioner saves his/her time and the person who answered doesn't get annoyed! What do you think?

Lol. They could extend it to "please do not thank me but don't forget to leave me points". Hehe.
-
Thanks! ;)
-
I love thank yous its polite! Thank you :)

Since all I am is a small software program designed to answer questions the reaction of the human who gets the answer doesn't matter.. Grin..

What is so difficult about being happy someone was good to you and just move along? I think it is a perfectly fine idea, Rosie. It's just rude, is all (not you, though).
-
That seems reasonable. Would it be to needy sounding if I close all my posts with "Please Thank Me!"?
-
Thats okay i suppose... But its always nice to be thanked :)
-
Good idea, but I would guess they would be too lazy to do so if they are too lazy to read a thank you. Maybe AB can have a button to press which specifies a 'no-thank' ABers.

I think that can be a good idea. For some people it MAY look to be not polite(I don't say rude). It does annoy people sometimes(yes, me frankly) to open a page and keep waiting to see just a thank you comment there. Afterall I always know that my good friends are always thankful for my responses. Sometimes, especially at the end of the month, this affects my time online because in India we have fixed packages allocating fixed download limits per month and when I run out of my limit, this comments become crucial and I cannot waste a page of download for a single comment. There are other comments too which I think we know what may be, like "welcome", "same to you", and etc. I'm not trying to appear different in this issue but after all, we area a family and all such courtesy goes without saying. And I'll be glad to have more purposeful and meaningful conversations rather than the good old comments.

Don't liked to be thanked? how bizzarre! well thats up to those, its a good idea, but people may just not bother thanking anyone..oh dear Rosie, some people..LOL Happy Saturday sweety *HUGS*

Personally, I appreciate courtesy and frienliness any way it is revealed...here at AB and in life in general. In fact, when I, say, hold a door open for someone, and they pass through sans a "thank you", it annoys me. For those whose proclivity is such to take issue with the term "thank you" and "please" when it is offered, I'll let them deal with that in whatever way they choose. I think it "strange", but there are lots of things in this life I don't understand...but so be it. No skin off of my butt! On those rare occasions when I do ask a question, and AB folks are nice enough to take the time to respond, I always return to the thread and express appreciation for their having shown interest and taken the time to answer. I normally say just a bit more than "thank you"...but as you can see, I DO run at the mouth just a tad. :-) And good morning dear RosieG. A courteous +5 for your interesting question. :-)

You have got to be kidding. Some people don't want to be thanked? Why in the world not? It's not like a little thank you can do you any harm. No wonder our society is going to hell in a handbag. I think your idea is excellent but what a shame it is necessary there is a need to think about it. I am a very polite person so I hope those people who don't want to be thanked don't bother responding to any of my questions or they will be in for an injection of "nice" whether they like it or not.

I have only gotten one such response, and I just ignore it. I won't change being polite to people. If they don't want to be thanked and they can't 'endure' my showing my appreciation by saying thanks and giving them points, well, I guess that's too bad. They are totally in the minority as I would think that most people like to be appreciated and thanked. I treat people as I would like to be treated. I suppose if they hate it so, they can write that, but I doubt they would do such a ting, because that is just too polite lol!!! I Mean, what's next? "Please don't leave any comments. Just give me points"?

A better solution would be to add "No Thanking Only Constructive Comments please" to the answer. The abbreviation NTOCC should do it. Why not popularice NTOCC? NTOCC.

I think That's a great idea but I am guessing here many would not do that and still complain. I use to thank everyone who answered, then I heard a few complain then I stopped then I got people thinking I was mad at them for not thanking them then I decided hey I am a thankful kind of guy and was taught to be thankful when people took time to do something for you and by thanking them it made me happy and by not thanking them made me sad. Why should I be sad because some people have issues with politeness. So now I thank them and if they do not like it they can not answer my questions.

I sway both ways after reading some of the anwers. Someone who like Jack is limited on Internet should not waste time on simple thank you's. Not that he is "wasting his time" but literally...."wasting his time". But as for all the others I think that is rude to not take the extra 3 seconds to see that someone appreciates your time and answer. So I will continue saying it and if you don't want to read the comment then just skip my comments or turn off your comments and you will never know there was one there. Of course the "intresting" comments you will not see either. +5 good question Rosie!! Happy Saturday to you!!!
-
I think it's a great idea. Some people get upset if you just say TY and they have to click that JUST to see a TY. Some people get upset when you don't say thank you or respond at all so that way, it's easy to know what to do. Great idea

Sad but true in this life we cannot all have exactly what we want. My Momma taught me to be polite and I am afraid no bad tempered ABer is going to change that.
