Actually that is not what I am suggesting. They are valid and deserved thanks. I am simply highlighting what I see as a broken system.

I'm open to suggestions on how to improve it

I am not sure that it can be improved! But I do think that more people should give credit where credit is due. I think some people are very selfish, but that's not just imutual. It seems to be a general thing about our modern world. There is very little community spirit anywhere. There is no doubt the winner made some very good posts How many people use the offers he posts? A lot more than 11 I suspect. I never thank him (and do not partake of his offerings either) Most of them I find for myself. There are a couple of other people I do not thank. Maybe I should thank him but I tend to feel he has the balance in his favour already and does not need my humble offering. The other couple of people I never thank are for personal reasons. IE: I simply do not like them, one is a racist and the other is an idiot. I am simply highlighting something that in my opinion is broken (for whatever reason).

Not saying my idea is the same as your views and just an idea but one we practice.

TBH, I am not sure why I am bothering myself about this. Considering the prize for this and most other has "no known value" or worthless, maybe I should give up thanking anyone on the basis that it is just a waste of time. I doubt I will though. One thing is for sure if the shares are ever worth anything, I will not profit from them.

I must find time some day to see if I am the idiot, hopefully not the racist. I mean I have bought records and cd's by black artists

(Proof that the 1969 hairdresser was not a racist in Endeavour was she had bought tickets to see Sammy Davis jr. She was not a racist but her customers did not want her to use towels that had previously touched the heads of people of colour.) If you think that is an exagerration then you were not alive in 1969.

The world has moved on, now it is immigrants who are white skinned who the same sort of people want out of this country.`

I do thank you, ergo you are not in either category.

We both know the reason, nothing to do with the weather.

If I knew the reason I would not have said it.

Not sure how we ended up discussing Racism in t 60’s but I remember my dad taking me to work when he was a delivery driver
We would stop for lunch at a Transport Cafe which had a sign ‘ No Blacks or Irish’
Different times

Back on Topic
I think the issue is,not so much ‘thanking your friends ‘ but that many members don’t Thank at all
