Do you say thank you when you received a best response?

On occassion, I have given BRs without any comments while I have commented on other responses for the same discussion. That is when the response is too good to even get a comment...and anything I say will be blabbering. It's just my way of saying 'Well said...I couldn't have said it better myself'...which sounds like a cliche.

Hi SViswan, soo...whisper, yesterday when I wrote comment for one of my reanimated old discussion I did find I had given a BR without any comment on it. I felt rather sorry for been discourteous for doing that. I wonder whether it is proper for me to add any comment to it now.

Hi Sviswan, it is quite reasonable that if we don’t say thank you to someone who gives only a BR without any comment on it. Yeah, yon make me to recall that I did receive several BR with no comment on it at all, but I found there are comments on the rest of the responses. Even though I felt a bit depressed when seeing this, I still say some words to thank them. So do I as well, I did come across occasions when I received BR for the discussion when I was the only person to response. I always regard this as something to be happy with, as I am the only one who is interested and willing to answer the post.

Hi dear jisir, I am very happy to have you to drop by here. From the words in your many posts, I could really feel that you are a perfect gentleman who always entertains everyone here with great sincerity. I believe you have received lots of best responses as you always try to offer some helpful and valuable information to the person who have honored you the best response. I agree that to receive a best response could motivate us to move further on with more energetic mood. I always feel the sense of achievement when receiving any best response lol. Dear jisir, really true, lack of friends means short of responses. I greatly appreciate the analogy you had drawn between the sleeping beauty in the dark forest and your valued old discussions that still buried in those old hard days. I do hope the beauty be fascinated and admired by the prince and has a chance to show her beauty on the stage. Hehe I think it is time for me to go on horse back to roam around the dark forest to see if any missing princess there. By the way, I do have many beautiful sleeping princesses long lying in the lonely tropical forest as well, just hopping a drop of sympathetic tear to wake them up. Happy posting and bye now, my dear friend.

Hi dear jisir, thank you very much for your sweet words. I feel very happy as I know that my words could make you smiling. Am I doing a good deed here, Mister ji? You too, always make me to burst into laugh when I come across your wonderful amusing wording. I think this is one of the great funs to post here. This always makes our posting life here lively and full of joys. Happy posting and bye.

Hello again, dear lkbooi. Reading your response is just like appreciating a nice art and craft. I cannot help smiling for those beautiful and touching words. Yeah, I will find some time to go to the tropical forest to find my sleeping princess and wake her up if I do not forget about her. Good night and sweet dream.

Hi polachicago, I like to see your different point of view on this matter. It could really make the new discussion buried and invisible. In my practice I always attach my thank you with some other comments related to the post to make it some sort like a response so as to show our sincere appreciation for it. I am the type of person who is lazy to send pm so I rather prefer to stick on in this way.

Hi dear subha12, I do hope if I have lots of chances to say thank you for receiving the best response hehe. Hi friend, I personally feel that we would hardly be contented with the amount of BR received. But anyhow, if we could share some chances of getting the BR with others who really deserve it, it is a good deed as well.

Hi kamran12, happy to have your several valued ideas here. I understand that I must bear in mind not to reanimate your old discussions, right? Anyhow I still would tempt to answer them if I come across any attractive old discussion, lol... Really, the reward of a good response could really be a moral encouragement for us. For me, I feel the achievement as a great pleasure. Naturally I do think that the main idea of giving a best response is for its actual value and not for the sake of getting off being unresolved. I always thank the poster willingly for their appreciation of my effort as well.

Yeah, kamran12, old discussions still have their value and significance irrespective of how old they are. I always find lots of interesting and valued old discussion here at mylot. I do going through to them page by page enjoy reading the topics and the responses during my leisure time. Nice to know that I could find a friend to be like minded except for reactivation of old discussion. You are most welcome and bye now.

Hello lkbooi, No!:-) as I said that though I don’t like that my discussion to be reanimated but I don’t mind either; instead, I honor the participation of anyone in my discussion, however old it is. I don’t know if I am understandable here!? In fact, it’s like, say, disliking a chair but loving the presence of your friend even if he/she chooses to sit on that chair! I hope you see from where I am coming!?:-) You are more than welcome to participate in whatever discussion you like!:-) For the rest, you and I seem to be like minded! Thank you for tolerating me!:-)

Hi kurci1, I am very glad to receive a prompt response from you. You are right. It is really a great honor to win other responders in this friendly competition. Yeah, my friend, I do agree that to “choose” a best response from only one post is rather ridiculous.

And thanks a lot for the appreciation.I value it so much.Wishing you a great future and good say to you my friend.

You are very much welcome balasri. Wishing you all the best and take care

You are really a polite and generous person. When you are happy with the best response received, you will never feel stingy to make other people happy as well by sending him back a Thank You

Really, if someone has just marked mine as the best response only, and didn’t add any comment in the response, I could hardly write anything further about the topic, unless I find some views in his discussion I haven’t touched when responding to him. So very often I don’t say thank you to him in return, for I feel that it’s rather strange if I just pose the couple of words “Thank You”. Yeah, everyone here has his own taste to deal with the best response received for we do not necessarily need to say Thank You to the awarder after receiving a BR. Happy posting and take care.

I didnt know that Mooch. So what do they do take points off? thanks for the info.

Hi TerryZ, this afternoon when I went back to those old discussions to say thank you for them I then have the idea to start this discussion. It doesn't matter whether my idea is right or wrong, but I am glad that you have the similar feeling as mine.

Hi shay, I am glad to see another polite friend here. I believe the discussion creator would feel pleasant as well to receive the gratitude from the best response holder he had awarded earlier. The new comment with Thank You sent definitely will reactivate the discussion again and this may cause it to receive more responses later on. I guess a creator who likes to see his discussion to be reactivated again, surely will pick the one who is more than willing to say Thank You if he really comes across two of more responses which are equally good in their contents respectively. By doing so he may get more responses later on. Happy posting and good luck.

Hi youless, true, we always miss the chance to say thank you to the awarder as we are not in time to discover the best response given to us. Sometimes I purposely go through the best responses pages just to find out those I need to express my gratitude for giving me the best responses. I found that this would be quite time consuming. So I will try to settle it once I get a best reward. I understand and really feel that even though you never say out, well, you still thank them from the bottom of your heart.

Hi naseefu, nice to know that you have the wish to express your gratitude to the host, after receiving a best response from him. Well done, my dear friend, glad to know that you have received a best response some weeks back. I hope you will get more best responses in time to come. Keep on posting and cheerios!

Hi jnk3dfx, we are the same type of people. Yeah, both of us like to say Thank You after receiving a best response to show our gratitude. Lol when feeling happy I always like to thanks the person who brings the cheerfulness to me. I hope he or she would feel happy as well to see the discussion to be reactivated again and could attract more responders to participate in it. We have to post more responses on topics that we could handle nicely we then could have more opportunities to be selected as the best writer. Really, I could imagine you could write how great amounts of posts during 2 to 3 months time. Anyway, it is right that we should put the essential things in real life as first priority. We type posts here only during our free time. Wish you all the best and happy posting.

Thanks for giving the greeting here my1341. You are right. I feel really happy when receiving a best response. I would like to express my gratitude by sending a post to the same discussion again straight away if I am free. Sometime I don’t have spare time I would do it later on. I have sent my belated gratitude to the creator after weeks before. I agree with you that saying “thank you” is a polite manner after receiving something from others. You are still new here my1341 and have posted less than 3 hundred posts. I believe after you have posted more responses here, definitely you will get more “best responses” later on. Wish you all the best and happy posting.

Hi nvtellan, you are polite, as you show your courtesy in saying thank you when receving a best response. If I receive a best response I will add some extra comment with more views and opinions which are related to the topic. Of course I will attach some words to say thank you as well. Happy posting and bye.

Yeah, patgalca, I too don’t like to just say only thank you in a post. I like to read the comment and share my views with the awarder. Just like you I seldom check my best responses pages so after sometimes there are pages of best response accumulated and this need much time to post our appreciation to every awarder. We mark a best response is not hoping for people to say thank you but he deserves to be awarded, right?

Hi raijin, I always rate the discussion, response and comment positive as I know he has tried his best to put in his effort for them. Yeah, we definitely feel happy if we know that our work is chosen as the best response and our efforts appreciated. Happy posting and bye.

Hi Sissygrl, you are right, I notice that really there are a lot of people here tend to say thank you after receiving a best response. I do check my best responses pages occasionally so I could only express my gratitude to them after weeks or months. I understand that there are certain old discussions which are interesting and could always attract those who are interested to answer them.

Hi suspenseful, I agree, most of the time we are busying in responding and commenting and don’t have spare time to check the best responses pages, and to say thank you as well. I understand that if we want to express our gratitude to every awarder would really take us plenty of time. So it is mainly because of time but not impoliteness. Sometimes it is really difficult for me as well to spare extra time to say thank you for every best response received.

Hi jicj, we are in the same group who like someone to reanimate our old discussions. Yeah, I do regard a discussion to be incomplete if it couldn’t draw more information. I would like to have a look on them during my leisure to see whether I could contribute any information. I think everyone here would surely feel happy if his response is marked as a BR. This shows that our contribution is appreciated. Smiling, best means one among the three, right! Anyhow I still feel happy as no one dares to challenge with us, kidding. You are more diligent, my dear fried but I am bit lazy to send any pm. I rather prefer to add some more comments and say thank you by the way.
