Am I just too touchy?

It would seem then Gadget that I've obviously inherited too greater a quantity of the bad genes. Jayson

Some people make me sick 

For example, about 12 months ago I contacted a woman who happened to be a member of the Sussex Family History Group (I won't name her but she knows who she is). We had a shared ancestor, so after a brief exchange of emails I sent her an entire genealogical report for my side of the family from the ancestor down to myself. I never heard a word back from her    I wrote a couple of times and got no response, and now I see she's put her tree on GenesReunited. It taught me a lesson never to divulge everything at once!

Another time I wrote an email to someone with a brief summary of how we shared an ancestor and all I got back, and I quote, was "How do you know this? ? ? ? ? ? ?"

Rich, did you send a five word reply ... Research and friends at RootsChat

Cheers, Go raibh maith agaibh, Thank you, Tusen takk ... and many more expressions of thanks are much the same. It's the thought that counts no matter how much is said along with the acknowledgement of appeciation that you have done your best to give some assistance.

Be seen ya and Slan,

Christopher

obvs a bit more than cheers would be preferable but some ppl dont express themselves clearly cant find the words to say and dont hv the time. (maybe they were having a bad day)

Last night I spent at least an hour searching the Scottish census for someone (whom I won't name) who'd posted a message.   I was successful - noted the entries and then posted a reply.

Today I see a response - just one word 'Cheers'.   Having used up my time, using resources that I subscribe too for a 'Cheers' makes me so mad.   One things for sure - I won't help that person again.

I often help people if I can and have always received a suitable thank you which makes it worthwhile.    But a 'cheers'!   Am I just being oversensitive?

Annette,

I've been thinking ... maybe the people who say "Cheers" enjoy a drink.

They're saying "Cheers" now and whenever they have the pleasure of meeting you they'll buy you a drink for being so helpful. Ah well ... live in hope.
