Just for today, let's see if we can avoid making nasty comments in posts. If someone asks a question, and you have a possible answer, go ahead and post it. It's not necessary to call the poster an idiot, tell him to read the manual, or suggest he should just use Google. "If you don't have anything nice to say..."

But I hope whoever posted a question would answer questions when asked.

Just for the fun of it I was going to write something snarky about this post. Then I decided to behave myself. So instead I will say here that this is a wonderful idea that should actually be followed every day..

What a lovely idea. But is it fun or entertaining? :sm06 :

A very good idea but seems impossible.

I won't make nasty comment if the original poster would answer my question. I am willing to download and read the manual on something I don't own to answer the OP question but it annoyed me too much when the OP doesn't want to answer my question to verify his question.

Should be like that all of the time.

The anonymity of social media lends itself for people to be rude, obnoxious etc. You can try to change people but for many it is instinctual.

My father taught me to treat every one well. Just a person how they treat someone they have no use for!

Being pleasant and polite doesn’t cost anything and it helps others in return.

Thanks for posting this challenge!

And it doesn't leave you wondering if maybe you shouldn't have said what you did. People seldom regret the compliments they made.
