Etiquette question

20 replies

Puppster · 06/09/2008 16:14

I recently asked a very run of the mill question, to which several people were kind enough to reply. I wasn't able to get back online for a couple of days, and therefore didn't actually chat with anybody, but I feel bad that I didn't thank those that responded, but I also felt that too much time had passed to put the slightly dull question back into active convos

So should I

a) chill out, you can't possibly reply to all posters
b) bump the question and say thanks to respodants
c) quit MN and go to Netmums where I can channel my inner hun-lover

In order of preference:

b
a

That's it.

I read all my responses, then say a big thankyou to everyone, telling them I've read them all and I'm really grateful for their advice and that I can't reply to all individually as it would take too long.

Agree with Because. We can't all spend all our time on here waiting for our questions to be answered in real time. Sometimes I don't visit Mumsnet for, oh, minutes.

Thanks - and whilst I'm at it, can anybody help with why didn't my strike out work, and I don't have square brackets so can't do blush

This revealing oneself lark is a bit scary, I may namechange any minute

How come you don't have square brackets? Mine are on the key next to 'p', underneath the squiggly brackets

I took ages to find my square brackets, mine are on the 8 key but I have a strange German keyboard.

I have no such excuse, and my typing is generally a disaster today - apologies!

Agree with BIWI.
But lol at 'inner hun lover' - keep it inner round 'ere. It needs dam-n-ming, not channelling, in these parts.

you can copy and paste the emoticons too

BecauseImWorthIt · 06/09/2008 16:30

I'm surprised you've admitted to even having an inner hun-lover, myself.

Dangerous territory to get into here hun

MmeLindt · 06/09/2008 16:30

Actually, I have just discovered that my laptop has the ^ to enable me to highlight^ a word. Must go and check my keyboard, I could not find it earlier.

Ah yes, the call of the soft and fluffy is strong, but held in check by the nest of vipers MN

MmeLindt · 06/09/2008 18:30

Aura
Thanks, I could not remember the word italics for some reason. I have been in Germany too long.

My 8 only offers ( and [ though, as I have a German keyboard, I have qwertz not qwerty

MmeLindt · 07/09/2008 19:40

You are right, Lindt is Swiss. I used to be Kindersurprise but when we got word that we were moving to Geneva, I decided to namechange. We are off in 2 weeks.
