Hi All, 

Do any of you follow this one?   Not to invest money in I hope! 
Because it isn't a stock at all!  But this does not mean 
that following TIA is a waste of time.   TIA is part of the 
answer to Chris's question.

If you ask a question on this forum, it is often a good idea to have 
the final line of your question post as 'TIA'.  TIA is shorthand 
for "Thanks in advance."   If you use TIA, you are effectively 
expressing your gratitude in advance.  So it saves you the need to 
send an extra post to the forum as a "thanks" after you get the 
answer.   And it stops the forum becoming bogged down with single 
line "thanks" messages.

As far as people sending e-mails to others on this forum directly, 
as a direct "thank you" gesture, I don't see a problem with it.   It 
would be a rare person who actually dislikes being thanked.  But if 
you strike such a person, then they have probably subscribed to this 
forum with an address that they never check, so no offence will be 
taken if you send your message there. SNOOPY
