Sap Moderator Australia 16850 Posts	Posted 07/04/2016 8:51 pm One thing to remember: if the OP posts a question and it is moved by the mods, the OP gets an automatically-generated e-mail telling them it's been moved, with a link. I will usually wait until a "good answer" has been given before moving a thread posted by a new member, so that there will be something useful for the OP to read if they click on the link in the e-mail. So the only reason the OP would miss the answer to their question is if the e-mail address they gave when they signed up was bogus, or if their spam filters are too strict. As for not receiving a reply of thanks, it certainly doesn't bother me. It's apparently my nature to be helpful, whether people reciprocate with thanks or not. Besides, this is the Internet, and it's by nature somewhat depersonalized compared to a face-to-face interaction. It's all too easy to forget that replies posted to your question on an Internet forum are coming directly and personally from other human beings, and not from Google or Wikipedia. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 07/05/2016 09:16 am As an OP, I will admit that I am guilty of this at times. Not as much anymore, but sometimes when I post a "showing off a new purchase" thread, I honestly feel like there is not really any way to respond to a half dozen "Cool coin!" posts, especially when I end the OP with "Thanks for looking!" Other times, I'll start a thread about a lot and either there seems to be no more interest, or something comes up and the lot moves from my "actively sorting" pile on my desk to my "backlog" box. When I get to it three months later, it just feels odd to resume the thread, so I'll start a new thread for anything that deserves or needs one. When responding to an ID request, recognition is nice, but I would never browse the ID forum or click on topics with a "Help!" title if I did not enjoy the process of finding an ID in its own right. The only ones that really bother me are the ones who post something that could be something really special, then vanish before posting a follow-up. Report this Post to the Staff

Same with me. Actually I never gave this a thought. If someone asks something I can reply to, I do. If I don't know, usually just pass. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 07/06/2016 02:06 am I am not concerned if the OP does not respond. What is posted subsequently may be still worth a useful read. Report this Post to the Staff
