The HUBB PUB Chat forum - no useful content required!

BUT the basic rules of polite and civil conduct which everyone agreed to when signing up for the HUBB, will still apply, though moderation will be a LITTLE looser than elsewhere on the HUBB.

Hmmm

There have been one or two threads where some one has posted about being in a difficult situation and advice has been given and you do not hear about the outcome. The one that springs to mind (amongst others) is a guy who had depression and posted for advice. No reply was received and for all I know the OP could be swinging from a tree. I hope he had read the replies to his question first but it does beg the question that if you ask for advice or help then perhaps you should at least (dodgy internet connections or whatever) acknowledge the help or comments that have been offered? Many questions on this forum are months if not years old. How hard is it to say "sorry been away or incommunicado but thanks for all the replies, problem sorted or my dependents have been instructed to post in my behalf.

I cannot ever remember in my lifetime asking for help or advice and not acknowledging it at some point (even if I did not agree with it at the time) possibly months or years later. It is quite simply good manners?

Feel free to point out that I asked a question seven years ago and did not say thanks

Calm happy thoughts

I think if you offer help because you want or need recognition for doing so then your going to go through life being disappointed.
You can't impose etiquette any more than you can legislate against stupidity!
As a friend once told to me " You can't educate pork, you can only cure it!"
If you are frustrated or annoyed by what you perceive to be the ignorance of others then sadly that is your problem to solve because they're not going to change. In summary "calm happy thoughts".

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
