[Chris P Duck]

Reading through posts on the forum regarding problems people have with their BB connections, Im astounded by the number of people who post a problem then maybe make a few posts querying suggestions made, then disappear without even the slighest hint of gratitude for those who have taken the time to assist them. I currently work for a college, and in my work I try to go the extra mile with parents and students to help get the results they want, and in a similar fashion  its usually a thankless task. But hey, at least I get paid to be crapped on in work 

So Id just like to take this opportunity to thank the people who make the effort to offer advice and support to those of us who are a bit more technically challenged and offer you a virtual drink in this virtual alehouse... cheers

I appreciate your kind words, but I think it's fair to say that the ungrateful are in a minority. I take part in numerous technical forums and it's the same everywhere - most people are grateful for the help they get, but a few just can't be bothered to say so. Generally I think it's thoughtlessness rather than overt rudeness.

I don't think I would want to take part in forums like this if it were not for the warm feeling that comes from generous feedback from the other participants.

I think "feel grateful  but can't be bothered to say so" is a clear form of rudeness.  When people need help or encouragement a forum like this is indispensable.  It only takes a few moments to come back on and say "Thank You" - and it means so much to others.

I really appreciate the help that I have had here - I keep looking to see if there are any problems that I can help with in return but sadly my technical knowledge seems too limited for the most problems that I see here  

One day my chance will come!! - in the meantime I echo the thoughts of Chris P Duck and offer my thanks to everyone who helps out on this forum

[roseway]

Just by being here and discussing things you're making a contribution jazz, and thanks for your words.

I think eric has said it all and I can only echo his sentiments exactly.

>> One day my chance will come!!

Stick around jazz - it _will_ happen
Everyones contribution is always valued.

(says me who has a "real hangover" this morning and has a vague recollection of coming in last night and "maybe" having a few problems with some of the keys on the keyboard).

I went round to a mates house last night to fix his PC - Payment is a chinese supper and as much wine as you can drink 

[roseway]

Weren't you ever warned about the evils of alcohol? No, neither was I.

[kitz]

lol  perhaps I was - but do we ever take any notice.

It always seems like a good idea at the time 

[oldfogy]

So we had a virtual party for one (Chris) and a Chinese party? for two (Kitz)
I hope there was no singing involved,

PS. where were our invites, as I for one am quite partial to a bit of crispy duck served with virtually a full glass of fizzy stuff.

All other sentiments have been said so will not repeat them.
(Thank goodnes for this SpellChecker, must of been on the plop myself)
