Please And Thank You

basebal21,
You are SO right! The CCF forum is light years ahead of any other forum for politeness and civility. Plus, the efforts of the moderators and everyone else to maintain the "kid friendliness" of the forum deserves a medal!
And I find that a number of younger collectors here DO say please and thank you.
Unlike a few so-called adults who do not.
And yes, a general tone of respect speaks volumes as well.

I think this is a non-issue, to be honest; seems like all the CCF posts I look at have the requisite etiquette, as would be expected with the type of folks in this hobby. Some other forums get a bad rap, too; I belong to several other types of forums, and they are mostly helpful and polite, except a movie review group I belong to, they're really rude!

I personally think that if you are asking a question and someone answer a thank you is in order. I was raised to be polite in all spheres of life, not always easy but still.
