A polite request for some bloody manners!

Evening all, and good wishes to you.

I am heartily sick of people, and it does at first glance seem to be mostly "new" members, starting a thread and then disappearing!

They are often asking for advice or help, people take the trouble to reply, sometimes providing links (which shows they have taken the time and effort to do a bit of research) and then?

Zilch! Nada! B*gger all in the way of response, let alone thanks!

I appreciate that there may be times when a poster may not be able to come back promptly, but not to come back at all is just damn rude and a bit of an insult to those who have contributed.
