Re: IF YOU BEGIN A THREAD....

I'm new to posting here and haven't started any threads.  I'd like to think I'd come back to the threads I started to read replies and say thank you.  I've always been touched when I've read the forum and read the amazing replies from people who took time to research, answer questions in details, provide support, etc.  Thank you to each of you for taking the time to respond to others and being so helpful.  It's inspiring.

Re: IF YOU BEGIN A THREAD....

I always check back on responses, & most always say tks for response. I always appreciate those who respond when I am asking for advice or whatever. I have come here many times to ask opinions, rather than ask some friends. Sometimes, due to time, I might only heart an answer.

Re: IF YOU BEGIN A THREAD....

@Shanus I can't imagine why you woud post a question or opinion without reading and commenting on some of the answers. I always feel badly, because I usually post at night and then go to bed shortly thereafter. I try to get back to the thread as early as I can after work the next day. I try to heart every reply, unless of course the repy isn't appropriate.

I always come back and try to acknowledge everyone and I’ve always been acknowledged when I respond to others. Sometimes not right away but eventually.

@PA Mom-mom  I don’t understand either. I’m sure even waiting a week or two is OK, but some OPs disappear into cyper nowhere and never check back. There are many unread, unanswered replies.

Re: IF YOU BEGIN A THREAD....

I may check back and sometimes comment.  I never ask questions that I could easily get the answer to by simply Google it or call customer service. I’m often amazed that people ask questions that the answers are so easy to get online.

 

Also why spend lots of time doing that work for someone else?  Pretty much everything is on Google, ask a question about anything and you’ll get about 10,000 answers. True.

 

People vent about QVC and my first thought is, I wonder if they called customer service?

[ Edited ]

Seems like it's been so long since I started a thread, not sure I remember how! Hopefully, I've have been cognizant about responding to other posters comments both if the thread was started by me or throughout a conversation. If I've dropped the ball, my apologies. Seldom do I sign on until in the evening after dinner and memory isn't always on what happened on these threads from the day before. Life has higher priorities (no offense intended to anyone) in the world. Smiley Wink 

 

ETA: Just tried to start a new thread. Yes . . . have completely forgotten the procedure. Just kicked me back to a bunch of old threads. Guess I need help!!

Re: IF YOU BEGIN A THREAD....

And then there are the posters who are good at starting threads knowing the subject will get people fired up and then purposely disappear, only posting again if the conversation isn’t contentious enough.

@SunValley  Oh wow is that true! It burns me up. After I see a few threads by the same poster doing that, I just skip over them.

Re: IF YOU BEGIN A THREAD....

Could it be that some folks don’t know to add the @ to a username to post a reply?  Not necessarily ignoring anyone but not sure how to reply a specific poster.  Just trying to think of why it may not work how we wish.  Took me a while to learn 😯
