Quiz/Crossword posters

[graemer]

Could Quiz and crossword people please specify that is all they want when posting a question.

Thinking someone is interested I have supplied photos and websites as well as researching answers only to find the same question posted again and again.

AB-ers like Quizmonster give the most indepth yet succint and always polite answers, but those answers are often treated like this:

They deserve more. Thanks

 I understand what you mean graemer and Yes, sometimes we do have to try and workout what the poster requires in  just a couple of words... but it is our choice whether we choose to answer or not.

... and Yes again, of course it would be encouraging to have thanks after every answer especially if we've put in a lot of research,  and when it does it more than makes up for the negative responses.

Thanks for your kind comment, Graeme, but I long ago ceased expecting anything very much in the way of clarity or gratitude from some questioners. Now, I just post answers I think will be helpful and, if they are not relevant to the query's actual purpose, so be it. Of course, a thank you is appreciated when it does come. Cheers

It isn't just the person who asks the question who gets the benefit of all this research.  The threads are read by lots of people.  I always follow up QM's links because they're so interesting and am very gratefrul to others.  I don't usually get a chance to say so without being irrelevant to the thread so I'll take this opportunity to say thank you to QM (especially) and all the many others who share their researches and fill my Favorites column.
Thank you.  And keep working!

May I also take this opportunity to doff my bunnet to the Monster.

[Quizmonster]

Aw shucks, folks! (Lowers head, blushing and twisting handkerchief embarrassedly.) Seriously, thank you for your kindness. It's good to know that one's efforts are appreciated, even if not necessarily by the person on whose behalf they were made. Cheers

[THECORBYLOON]

Quizmonster, would I be right in thinking you're a loon too?

[Quizmonster]

Oh, yes, The C! Born and bred. Though no longer resident, still an occasional visitor. Indeed, resident almost as far away as it's possible to be whilst still remaining in Britain. I had guessed from your username that you were most probably 'fae the same airt' or at least background. Cheers

[THECORBYLOON]

Yes QM, ma parents are fae Aberdeenshire and I'm in the Scots enclave of Corby half way between where you are and where you were.

Thanks everyone. Now its time to get back to work and answer some questions!
