Manners???

To those that did take the time to post a comment, I thank YOU from the bottom of my heart. When someone takes the time to say thanks for something you gave them, it makes you want to create more. The simple fact that someone appreciates your contribution is an incentive to do more. I appreciate it more than you know. You can stop reading here. I know, I should have known. I download a lot myself, and I ALWAYS post some kind of comment and I am always amazed at the pitiful ratio of comments to downloads. But I still cannot believe the sheer quantity of people out there who were evidently raised without manners. Did your Momma not teach you anything? Fifty downloads of one page and seven thank yous? I mean, how much time does it take to just copy and paste a quick "TY"? That would be better than just grabbing and running. Lilly is just 18 months old, and SHE knows to say "Thank You" when someone GIVES her something. People spend a lot of time creating this stuff so you can preserve your memories, the least you can do is take two seconds during your download to acknowledge this. I suppose that I am getting a crash course in the digital scrapbooking world, and frankly, I am disgusted. The rampant piracy and lack of manners is pathetic. PinkuPixie had her private files hi-jacked from 4shared. Bunny Cates took a whole week off to deal with piracy issues. Kim Broedelet has had her files pirated, too. Do you rude people not realize that this behavior will bite you in the ass in the end? When all the freebies dry up and you have to purchase or do it yourself maybe then you will realize that a simple "Thanks" would have saved you a lot of money and time.
Rant over...
And BTW...for anyone that has a problem with this post, it's MY blog and I can say what I want.
