Original poster

Is there an etiquette for this?

If you ask a neighbour for potatoes, sugar or eggs etc- what do you normally do? Buy a replacement packet the next time you shop? Give them back the exact same amount of potatoes/eggs or do nothing?

I assumed you'd read the thread. It's probably unhelpful to pick someone up on something when you've no idea what they're referencing

I have read the thread, but I didn't keep a mental record of exactly who said what. That's a fair comment. But maybe you should also concede that your point was not clear - and in order to get what you actually meant, it's necessary to read back quite a few posts.

I concede it wasn't clear to you, but I wasn't talking to you! It wasn't a general post. I was responding to a specific poster, you stepped in and quoted me and responded. That's hardly on me! If you didn't know what I was talking about why quote to disagree, just let it slide. Or read back so you do know.

Well it now seems like the poster that you were talking to didn't get it either 🤣
