BP Etiquette

[Jay Hinrichs]

What is proper etiquette for

1. when someone votes for you  I have 370 plus votes in 896 posts in 5 months and have never acknowledged anyone who voted for me.. Is this rude or just the way it is.

2. Following is it proper to follow those that are following you.. I have a bunch of followers but have not followed anyone else. and what is following any ways.. does that mean when I post something that post goes to who ever is following me and vis a versa.

3. What exactly does a colleague request mean and do... I understand you accept them or deny them.. but once accepted what happens?

thank you trying to bang out 4 more replys today so I get to 900... And not one of my replys is a hey welcome to BP... I leave that to the other ambassadors.

Whenever I vote on a post I'd never for any reason expect that person to acknowledge it.
Personally when I click on the vote I actually intend it be similar to a real vote meaning that I support what the person has said. It also serves as a silent pat on the back for the poster.
