I don't always do public thank you's for trades and receipts. I'm just wondering. Are you expected to do public thank you's or are private IM's okay? I'm looking for the proper etiquette here and want to make sure I'm doing the right thing. Anyways - here's one to Mel, who as you know, used to roam about my part of the country and be in the local Ventura club. His tumbles are legendary (as they should be) and he offered some up to the club (as well as my classroom students). His box arrived last week and when my club members looked in, those who have been around a few years and remember the material Mel brought in, nodded their head as they saw the shine and said "Yep, that's Mel's. You can always tell Mel's material." So Mel, thank you from me and the crew back here. I did have to slap a few hands to keep the contents from disappearing. (I let 3 polished stones go to the children present at our meeting.) As for Jo (Naturenut), a while back I asked if I could use some of her Pics of Red Souix quartzite for the Agate Index. She said yes, and then a couple months later a box arrived on my doorstep (which my daughter proceeded to hide from me saying "No rocks until you play with me," which sounded slightly blackmailish, but I agreed to. Inside the box - which I finally got - was a nice selection of the Red Souix material (And I bet I'm spelling Souix wrong but I am not looking it up right now this morning)... So thank you Jo! It was a most kind thing you did! Lowell

Sioux.
Don't think we have formal etiquette rules here. If you will be saying something nice, feel free to post publicly. If there is a problem, try to resolve privately first. If that doesn't work, bring in an admin, if that still doesn't resolve its probably perfectly legitimate to post a public grievance.

that is a great box of polished beauties! I never know so I just post sometimes and always send a private thanks. I guess it is just a personal thing. Fran

Wow, I just saw this. You are very welcome! I'm glad you can see the Red Sioux quartzite for yourself.
I never know if a public thank you is necessary either. For me, personally, a private one is enough for me, and I am tickled when someone goes to the trouble to post one publicly.
You're very welcome.
Lowell sent me a box of Cady Mountain material in return. All wonderfully selected and perfectly labeled. I will post pictures soon. Thank you Lowell.

I really enjoy reading the public "Thank You's". For me, some of the best purchases I have ever made was because of praise and thank you's given here!
