If you want speedy responses to questions on other people's trees trying using the magic words please and thank you. |

Also the abbreviations used instead of normal words, sometimes it takes me a while to work out what they are saying. I always use "please" and "thankyou" - it would be nice if members, asking for look ups, always made a comment on their thread as to whether the details found were helpful. |

I always use 'hello' and 'regards' and am quite shocked to get replies that are abrupt. It's a busy world out there but for most of us this is our hobby so there should be time to be courteous. Manners cost nothing! |

Remember that GR have standard messages, which to some can appear abrupt. Please don't get upset if someone uses one of these, they are not necessarily being rude. When I first started several years ago, I had no idea how to word a message - all that comes with time. |

Oh, I do agree with everyone, but I am that kind of person too. I don't think, however, we should get too worried if not everyone says Please or Thank you. It doesn't mean they aren't polite or not grateful. Just that they didn't say the words. |

very often people can ask for something without actually saying please but the way in which they ask is polite |
