[#0000FF]I probably post and send out by PM more writeups, maps, links and other assorted drivel than most other folks on the board...so I know where you are coming from. When one takes the time and puts forth the effort to supply helpful info to fellow members it is nice to at least get an acknowledgement. I don't expect any kind of gushing response but a simple thanks would be nice.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]You and I grew up during a time when it was taught to be properly grateful for any help or kindnesses offered by others. In our modern take-it-for-granted world people are simply more demanding and less grateful. They seem to think everybody else owes them whatever they want and don't feel the need to exert any effort at gratitude.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]On the flip side, I am still a sucker for a polite request...and I still enjoy helping newbies to get up the learning curve faster. But rudeness...or a demand for me to supply or do anything...is a sure way to make sure it ain't gonna happen.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]I loved that line from Captain Call in "Lonesome Dove"..."I won't tolerate rudeness in a man."
