Thread Name: Answering request:This is not a request for lyrics
Subject: Lyr Req: This is not a request for lyrics
I have noticed over time that after searching to find lyrics for some people I never hear back as to whether what they were asking was answered by the post I made. I do not mind investing the time if I know the question is serious. But I object if it's just asked and then forgotten about by the original poster. Usually, if the post is from a member, even when he/she has to post as GUEST, they leave a name and can be reminded if it's an older request. It's the 'visit once and never again' GUESTS that get under my craw. I will, and sometimes have spent hours looking for info for members. Love doing it and being of help on those occasions when fate and Mr Google favour the efforts. However, I think from now on I will not look for info for non members who do not leave an e-mail address OR become members. Frankly, I've seen too many hours go up the flue searching for obscure stuff, misnamed stuff, poorly described stuff, and while I do NOT object when it's for a member, I do when it's for people who never come back again and leave no way to make contact. Not a complaint; just a statement of fact.
