A Simple thanks will do.

When a lot of people put in their efforts and time to respond to queries in the message boards, it makes me very sad when I look at the fact that many dumb selfish people fail to get back to those who helped them with atleast a thanks. Its not the *thanks* but its that the reply makes the one who helped feel so good since he then knows that the problem is solved and there is a penny or two of his contribution in it. After all there is no money or anything for which anyone is putting efforts here. I really fail to understand the attitude of these dumb as@%*&#@ Its sad.
Whilst I'd rather not see the forums flooded, with thank you messages. It would be nice if when a correct/helpful answer had been posted, the person asking the questions voted the answer a 5. At least then when others look through the forum for answers, they can see those that have been useful easily and will also help Chris in building his auto-FAQ's.

Well, i think the majority of the posters really appreciate the answers ppl gave. Probably they are too busying trying out the answers/methods and when it worked, they quickly moved on (they probably stuck on this quite long) and forgotten about it.

You've been here 6 months, and posted 103 messages. In the grand scheme of things, I think you have a long way to go here before you have the right to whine about getting your feelings hurt because you think someone owes you something. Cowboy up, you little sissy.

**Actually, yes I am. I have many friends who have actually stated that if they want a truthful non-sugar-coated evaluation of something, they come to me first. If they want their egos stroked, they go somewhere else.

Over the years, I've learned that gratitude is implicitly assumed on programming forums - not just on CP, every where else too! Regards, Nish
