Hi all,

I really appreciate the dedication and effort someone generously put into answering a question. i want neither to waste such a lovely people's time by saying irrelevant things nor to sound harsh or dry to them.��

It doesn't��kind of��feel right saying nothing when someone gives me a rather lengthly answer, unless it was the tacit agreement.

So i'm facing questions whether or not to make a post, because i'm not sure which are the right/usual manners for this particular mail-list form of communication.

My questions boils down to : how/when to provide feedback?

If for example i ask a question and receive answers from three people.

Should i always answer back��

...commenting whether if it worked or not?��

...only if it didn't solve my problem or if i had something useful for solving it to add? (like Stack Overflow)

Should i answer back in a separate post to each of them or in a single post to all?

Are one-line smalltalk comments alright here or should i avoid them?

Any other advice on manners is also welcome. A written manifest would be nice :)

Best,

Laura
