It is relatively seldom that I "receive reputation" -- and, I just wanted to explain to those who have given it why I am not 'vocal' about it.

There certainly isn't anything wrong with thanking someone for giving it - but, in a way - to me - it is kind-of-like bragging if you thank someone for it openly - in a post, for example. If I do / did thank someone for it, it would probably be in the form of a PM.

I am not judging anyone else for how they handle it. I don't really think less of anyone who I see thank someone for 'rep'; it is just not "my way" of doing things.

I would say that it is the little messages that accompany the 'rep' which encourage me that mean the most.

So -- I just wanted you to understand that - if you give me 'rep' - and, you don't see a "thank you" for it in my next post -- don't think that I don't appreciate it - I do. I just consider it to be one of those things that should be appreciated 'privately'.

On a lighter side...

Always keep in mind that -- if you 'rep' me now - and I 'rep' you later -- you will get more 'rep' points... :D;) ( hahahaha )
 
good Post!

'reps' are very personal to us, and we just assume that those who give them to us understand
how much we appreciate them - we never 'expect them' and are so very thankful when
someone shows and appreciates what we have shared from our hearts...:):)
