May I just say a few choice words too?
Well done shaney & Nox, couldn't have put it finer!!
What pi$$es me off, is the majority of you treat the ABers like they are some automated service, like Google.
Cyber is not always seen as the real world, but you are dealing with real people here, so a courteous approach works wonders.
Most on AB know that this issue really gets to me, in fact hardly a week goes by that I don't start spouting forth about the ignorance of people.
PLEASE & THANK YOU goes a long way - not just in the outside world - but here in ABerland.
So before you call others rude, look at the Q's of you and yours. TIA is quite sufficient, if you have not the time for further acknowledgements...
