to think that if someone puts a question on MN and lots of people reply to it

[MardyBra]

they should at least return to the thread and say thank you for the responses?

sometimes I would like to know the outcome of dilemma or query but I am just nosy

Know what you mean but depends whether the OP got a flaming or not in a lot of cases or if thread went off on a tangent.

No, not always.

I have wanted to start this kind of thread many times.

I absolutely hate this! Especially when people start threads like 'Quick! Let me know how to say 'Here's looking at you, kid' in Bulgarian!' and you google your ass off, come up with a reply, and... nothing!

I always come back and say thank you.

me too :)

Hang on where's the OP gone?

I think if you get an answer, whether you like it or not, you should say thank you. It's not hard.

I don't mind, to be honest. Most of us post to let out our over opinionated self... not for thankyous...

You're welcome MardyBra.
Oh, hang on...

Really?

No, I don't care if someone acknowledges or not tbh..

I quite often post a thanks if I have asked a question and people have helped. But then I get all embarassed because I look down the list of active threads and can see that the thread has (naturally) ended there and I just see myself as a thread killer and it makes me paranoid.

I always come back to my threads

in fact, I have a bit of a competition thing going to be the last one to post and say "thank you"

YANBU

I just love it when I give free legal advice on the Employment topic and the OP doesn't come back, usually because I didn't give them the advice they wanted. [eyeroll]

Yes it is rude

I am and when such OPs prove to be ungrateful.

I am struggling to get people to post on my thread and give me advice :( and I would be very very grateful if anyone did even notice me!!!

Yep - where is she.

Brian - link please and I am always happen to dispense advice

Here it is - thanks and sorry for the shameless hijack
