Why help, not once with all the requests over the years (and answers from others) have you said "Thank You !"

Perdona!!! tu y yo nos conocemos?... Como puedes opinar sobre mi sin conocerme? Tu as pensado que las cosas que yo voy pidiendo ayuda haya otras personas interesadas en esos mismos temas?... Cierto que es muy de agradecer la ayuda que se recibe muchas veces... pero vivimos en un mundo de muchas prisas y eso en ocasiones nos hace olvidar o omitir algo como dar gracias... A mi no me ofende que no me den las gracias cuando es al contrario las cosas yo las hago por satisfaccion propia

Arqueologia says QUOTE from Google Translate ---> Excuse me! Do you and I even know each other? How can you have an opinion about me without knowing me? Have you considered that there might be other people interested in the same things I ask for help with? It's true that the help we receive is very much appreciated, but we live in a fast-paced world, and that sometimes makes us forget or omit things like saying thank you. I'm not offended if people don't thank me; on the contrary, I do things out of my own satisfaction. /End QUOTE

How can I have an opinion (?), simple... Fruits (actions/past posting history)... in your case, by viewing your post history. If what I said was a lie, then others can view your past post history and judge rightly for themselves if what I said was falsehood. But you admit as much yourself, then excuse it as "others might like what I ask for help in" and "I don't have time for that, because it is a fast paced world"... One excuse I would venture to say is "somewhat true"... There is a chance others would enjoy the song you ask help for, but that discounts that more likely others just want to help for help sake with a subject they share a common interest in (namely 80s music). A challenge to help solve a song that defies the "fast pace" world that dictates your excuse that even a 5 y/o kid would understand as "rude" to not acknowledge. Nobody gets paid here, and their time is given freely, but for most that are even remotely human, a "Thank You" is occasionally expected in polite company for their troubles.

You said "I do things out of my own satisfaction"... I believe it. Perhaps it is time to understand giving a "thanks" can bring out the best in others so you have more of that "satisfaction".

That said, I noticed you did venture to say "thank you" for recent solve from another kind person. Thank You to you for doing so. Some people (including myself if honest) can live a week on a well meaning reply acknowledging appreciation for their help. Kinds words can be classified as "Words of Affirmation"... to some it is not that important, to other people it is. I guess you can determine which camp I reside, so much that I made my first comment to you even at risk of being called out for it (which I was).

Perhaps we both learned something in the long run. You may have the final word if so inclined.
