I must insist! Sorry!
As I�ve said before, I think it is very sad that most members of this wonderful community don�t leave a thank you note when they make a download of someone else�s work.
It is sad
- not because they don�t praise us for our work, for, as you�ve said, the simple fact they download our worksheets is a sign they liked them;
- not because they don�t leave a comment with the quality or the substance that we would consider important to improve our work - not that it wouldn�t be great, it sure would, but, let�s face it, it would be asking too much, for we may have time to do it once in a while, but definitely not on a regular basis;
- not because we think that a higher number of comments is equal to top quality work - we have gone through that before and I believe we all agreed one doesn�t necessarily mean the other;
- finally, not because we don�t treasure the comments we get or feel that they are not enough. WE DO, those people who take the time to leave a simple thank you note are the main reason why we keep sharing our work. They are the reason why we love this site so much.
So, what�s the real sad thing about this?
For me, personally, it is the lack of manners, of politeness.
It is the indifference towards the other, not seeing the person behind the worksheet or the screen. That�s what this is all about!
We take something, we say thank you. And we mean it...
It�s as simple as that. As basic as that.
A nice day to you all.
