Hi Lucie--
Your point's well-taken. What follows is just MHO from personal experience.I think it's wonderful to acknowledge every poster by name, but I wouldn't want to be held to it, honestly. I do it as often as I can. There are times (few, admittedly, but some) when I've posted because I'm extremely distressed about something and Babble's my only outlet or option for support. In these times it's very tough for me to craft acknowledgments to everyone. I'm barely getting through the day! :) And sometimes a response triggers me, and it's better if I don't acknowledge it, vs. starting a mini-war in a thread (we have too many of those).
Because of what we're dealing with, Babble is such a sensitive place, and feelings are likely to be hurt no matter what regulations we have. I hope we can all work through them with the grace and sensitivity we usually show.
