Please see my post aboveETA: I guess I was posting at the same time as everyone else. Sheesh.
I don't see anyone being rude or dismissive. We engaged in a discussion about thank you notes & small gifts, it was a thought provoking & decent discussion.
People came down on both sides but I don't see anyone being rude about it.
And for the record you did say you were "sick of people treating your package like a trash bin" so I got the feeling that would mean you were upset.
I don't believe anyone was trying to be nasty- it's so hard to determine the 'tone" of messages as there's no voice influx. I read back through the last few pages and I didn't get a rude vibe from any of the replies and I surely wasn't trying to be snide in what I posted
