There's a few bad mannered sods about who don't even have the decency to respond.
Even if your efforts were in vain, at least you tried, which is more than they can be bothered to do.

I am of the opinion in life. That in order to be a taker you have to be a giver. Unfortunately they are the people in life that come to the forums (life in general) and are there for their own gain with nothing given back in return, or even having the common courtesy to give thanks for the info gained.

The members on here that share their findings with others, are to be applauded. They are outlaying cash to fund these projects, maybe not every project is a success and does not make it to a post on the forum. I certainly appreciate the info I have gained from these members. If I have never thanked them before, I do so now.

Thank you for putting your time and finances into projects that benefit others.

i find this happens in any group, club or forum

from my own experience with the shooting syndicate, cricket club and angling club, its always the same nuculas of members who do all the work, giving up their spare time for the benefit of the group or club,

you can bet you bottom dollar if some thing goes tits up, or needs work doing, its always one of the lazy sods who you never see at a work party that will point it out and say 'why hasnt this been done, or why wasnt that been done'

sometimes i feel why should i bother..............................................

but then that would make me as bad as them...................and i aint like that

as i've said before, i believe in karma....................what goes round, comes round

also manners make'eth the man...................and manners dont cost a penny
