Re: If you post a question asking for help...
I also think saying thank you should come naturally when you have received help in one way or another. It was one of the first things drummed into us when we were children.My pet hate is when you open a door for someone to let them through first and they push through completely ignoring you.

Maybe, l’m too picky on manners but l think they are important.
I always say "please" and "thank you" or "thanks". It's polite to do so and, I think, politeness is sadly lacking in today's society.

I also winced when a couple of contestants 'asked the audience' and never thanked them for helping with their correct answers.
