Given the number of posts by new or first time CS-ers about why they do not get responses to their flowers or e-mails to potential partners, I thought it would be appropriate to test peoples preferred responses.

This is a cracker!, l have made tests that show there are only 35% of people on this site who are 'active', that is to say logged on inside 1 week....................80% of those logged on who l sent a flower to are , in my opinion 'ignorant'. l send a Thankyou to anyone who votes on my foto, thats not to say everyone should do it. But l have never received a Thankyou from anyone, not even a Scammer!

However , why should anyone rate a photo 10 if they dont like the person?, are we rating the photographic skills of the person taking the photo and not THE PERSON?????

Strange Site..............Even Stranger People!!

somehow i have graduated from politely denying to replying only if i wish to correspond in any manner or if i feel i must say thankyou ..

The large number of odd people on these sites make it difficult for us to be polite and difficult on the ones who are genuine ..
