Even though the idea is a good one I believe it would be pointless.
The world is full of grateful and ungrateful people in equal measure. Some people have manners and some don't. Some people think about the welfare of others and some don't give a monkey's arse. Some people will go out of their way to help others and some will shrug their shoulders and forget about it in a nano second.
Those who fall into the caring/helpful/considerate/thoughtful category should get enough satisfaction from that itself....the rest will never be educated or convinced otherwise.

Chris you make some valid points,

My post was a tongue in cheek jibe at some of the recent threads not a serious suggestion

You think I'll get banned if I start an impolite vegan feral dog worms oil location mega poll to combine all the others as they went so well ? ROFL


Is this another bone of contention though? I think we do well here for letting threads run their natural course before hitting the more humorous side of things, but maybe we don't or that annoys too? Personally I don't mind if I get the off the cuff responses mixed in, but it certainly doesn't always work on that other site (the one with the black background and place they send the fighting threads to end their days).

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have taken the time and trouble to respond to this thread.


errr, I'll get my coat:scooter:

anonymous1 26 Mar 2015 01:00

Maybe we're getting old and grumpy and need to spend more time on the road rather than sitting in front of the computer winging about the above doh


It'd definitely work for me bier

Almost 600 views ???
 
As a calculation of "interest" the number of views a thread attracts and the rapidity of same, is a good indication of "interest."

When a thread attracts so much interest, I wonder why? It seems to me what the proponents of thanks for time and effort might really just be looking for an acknowledgment that their message was received.

An acknowledgment is not necessarily a thank you, but the completion of a cycle of communication. Someone originates a message/question, someone responds, and the response is acknowledged.

The originator of the message/question is fine because a response was received, but the someone who responded should also be acknowledged.

Communication is outflow and inflow and when a person has more outflow than inflow or more inflow than outflow it creates an imbalance that might cause stress.

My point is, to those who are still reading this, that a disagreement or a thank you might not be necessary, but an acknowledgement like "xfiltrate, I got your communication" is. O K?

Eat, Drink and Acknowledge all of your communications
thanks xfiltrate

Beautifully explained, I completely agree and couldn't have said it better my self.
On a side note, I like to add that sometimes I think of the board as a whole and try not to "bump" my post when not needed thus to avoid selfishness. Its a catch 22

Moved the off-topic DR/KLR thing to a new thread where it is more relevant.

Really don't care myself if someone thanks me for my advice. However, it would be nice to know if the advice given proved useful. "Use shipper A at this port", "cross the border here", "road is closed at town B".... All of such information/advice needs a reply to confirm that conditions have not changed. A simple "That worked!" or "The info is no longer relevant" would be of help to ALL, not just the feelings of the person who gave the advice. I would certainly hate to repeatedly give advice to do something nobody has ever bothered to tell me no longer works.

If anyone likes anything I post please just donate me cash..


It seems the current craze for people begging cash to travel these days so I might as well get on the band wagon. :innocent:

However, I'm far too lazy to make a website or payment method so just send me cash pound notes. If you only have foreign currency, please change it first as that is also too much trouble for me. I'm far too busy posing for photos in my new Klim riding suit that was paid for with donations, raised by whining about being too poor to afford hotels that will garage my brand new bike.

But don't worry !!! I'll happily make sure I update my blog and send you pictures of me having an amazing time around the world while you're too busy getting a job, saving money, working hard and trying to pay for your own trips.. doh

Not that I'm ranting or anything. :blushing:



And yes I know............. :offtopic:
