I agree! Sometimes names are a necessity.Date: 4/24/2010 4:44:28 PM

I don''t think it''s impolite, I just think it can get confusing if everybody''s responding to different posts and nobody types the name of the poster they''re responding to (or quotes them). If it''s a slow thread or it''s obvious who you''re responding to, then no, it''s not rude to not type that person''s name.
Ha - yeah, when a response includes the names of all the people he/she is replying to but then forgets the name of the OP and just says "OP." That really bugs me. But, I''m also guilty of doing it myself. Actually it only bugs me when I''m the original poster. lolDate: 4/24/2010 9:21:16 PM

Gosh never thought of this. Some times, I am so quick to reply I forget to name the OP... Woops.. But with all the trigger fingers around here trying to answer quickly, that''s the way it goes..

I don''t think it''s impolite at all.
This thread reminds me of my grandmother. She learned how to use Instant Messenger when I was in college so we could communicate, and she started *every*single* message with:
''Dear Lori,''
and ended *every*single* message with:
''Love,
Helga''
So, a typical message from her would read:
''Dear Lori,
Hi.
Love,
Helga''
When I would say ''You don''t have to use salutations, Helga!'' she''d respond with ''Just because I''m not writing on my Crane''s doesn''t mean I can be crude.''
Oh man, I can''t tell you how much I miss her.

Thanks, Gemgirl and Maevie. She was awesome. I hope I''m not being annoying by sharing this photo--but her yahrzeit is coming up and I''m making a photo album for my mom and her brother, and just came across an awesome picture of my grandmother and grandfather holding my mom when she was a baby.Date: 4/25/2010 1:15:13 PM

I love that, Haven. Your grandmother sounds like a great lady, and what a beauty she was.Date: 4/25/2010 1:47:00 AM
