Then i hear nothing for days and i pm and still hear nothing. So i offer to next in line and then the origional poster replies saying im still interested.
To cut a long story short and what im trying to say is IF YOU REPLY TO A THREAD PLEASE CHECK IF THERE IS A RESPONSE TO IT WITHIN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. That way it doesnt leave the giver hanging around waiting.
Also when i say NO PM'S that means NO PM'S. Its really annoying when you put on alot of stuff at the one time to get pm's. Thats why i prefer THREAD ONLY.
Sorry for going on and on. But i needed to get that of my chest.
Now thats me done thankyou.

Hi Linn,
Both Givers and Takers sometimes fail to respond to posts/threads. This could be for numerous reasons: computer/internet trouble, family/work matters, or simple forgetfulness.
As the following Admin post at the top of the Support Forum makes clear, good communications are key to the site's success.

Re: PMs (Private Messages): Some Members prefer to conduct their business via the PM system for a number of reasons -- this is perfectly okay in the eyes of Admin. However, we realise that keeping initial expressions of interest on the thread/ad is more transparent for the Giver and potential Takers as the stages of the Giving and Taking process can be monitored. The PM system should be especially used to send contact details such as phone numbers, addresses, and collection times.
Thanks for the feedback.
Regards
