I've often wondered that myself. You almost never know if a person's problem has been solved.

I know...so often things are just dropped. I have wondered if it's just me or am I not in the "in group"?

There is no accounting for bad manners....many of us would make it a point to reply back to our answered questions, even if just to acknowledge someone who tried to give us some information or inspiration. Some people have bad manners in real life and in cyberspace as well.

'Stitches' you are the head of the "in group" on this forum IMO! :o)

Glad to see it's not only me.Teresa,i think you hit the nail right on the head!!

I've noticed it too. Today's society is filled with folks looking for instant gratification, I think they forget or don't care about manners.

Yes, I notice that. Not just here, but other boards, too. I usually answer posts and it's rare to get a thank you or even an acknowledgement. When I do ask a question, I always thank any one that answered. Someone just commented about the same thing, on another board recently.

Thanks, Teresa, that's awfully sweet of you to say. I haven't been on here very long, tho, but sure have enjoyed it! I have learned so much from others!

I hope I always remember to say thank you - but there is often a long gap between me asking about some project or other and said project reaching a stage worth talking about again!

Often, I intend to start something - then get sidetracked, or sometimes I'm away from sewing for a few weeks for whatever. Then I feel a bit silly saying - tada, I finished that ???? I was rabbiting on about 2 months ago.

I have this site right on my links at the top of my screen and check it almost everyday - lurking, if not posting.

I suppose some people want an answer and then leave. Others realise there is more to this sewing lark than they thought and go under. Me, I like to think I belong here?

Cheers (and in constant gratitude ;-) )

Hi,
I have just joined this forum and asked about sewing machines and I promise to be very polite while on this site.

Some people have not acknowledged their posting....so I usually do one of two things...post here asking if the problem is solved and how the poster made out.....and if they still don't acknowledge then I might send them an email from the member's page just to inquire. Budster
