For the future, my sending will be limited to those members who acknowledged, without being asked to by PM. And, to all requests from Canada and Australia, who always send thanks. Maybe they were better taught good manners.

We give because we want to, not because we have to. If you don't "want to" that is your right as the giver...but I'm not sure an announcement such as this is necessary.
And, I did think it necessary, or I wouldn't have written.
Not speaking from experience, but just my two-pennys worth!

I think I've always included my Board name.
Plus, one could probably figure it out from looking at PMs.
If you can't figure it out, you've got a return address, the Post Office still delivers mail.

^^^You're so right...a thank you DOESN'T cost a thing. I think that it benefits both parties...the person who gave and the person who received. I've also been guilty of having the best of intentions, and letting a thank you slip my mind. That warm-fuzzy feeling is totally lost when a thank you must be prompted, however. And it sours the spirit of giving when someone goes out of their way to make an announcement about their choice to withhold their giving to a select few who "pay" for something they're given with a thank you.
Gollytwo, since you DO feel it necessary to make your intentions known, I'm glad you got that off your chest. I hope it helps you feel better about situations where you felt your kindness was taken advantage of.

1. a gift is something given with no expectations or strings attached. anything else is a transaction.
2. feedback is suffient. No need for a cannon when a stun gun will do the job. ;-)
back to the fun, please.
