Thanks and Excuses
Every once in a while I run into a contribution from a member who laments the fact that he hasn't been thanked enough for his contribution and in a snit decides that he shall no longer participate. Grow up. How much larger do you think that this board would be if every one of Gryphondo's 34000+ posts had three or four "thank you's" attached to them? Post what you like and care not whether others will like them. That is my motto. The number of downloads on a pic will give you an idea how appreciated it is. Post many times and sooner or later someone will throw you a bone if that's what you need.
And if you do feel the need to thank someone for their efforts - use some words. I automatically delete every contribution that I find that is composed of smilies only!
And for the love of God spare me the tales about your fried computer as the reason that your pitiful post count is so low. Any moron with the ability to use "Google" can come up with enough stuff to post many times every fucking day. I have 12,500 posts and I already have enough stuff in my temporary folder to easily double that count - just waiting for the time to get it posted. Nobody believes you anyway. You want to be a leech, do it with pride and don't make excuses!
