Anyones thoughts or opinions on this matter?

If you want people to continue trying to bust you / bust you than you would be wise to send a thanks for trying even if they fail. I rarely do not thank someone and when I do forget, those that busted me generally know that I'm normally spot on.

The more you show your appreciation for people using THEIR AP to bust YOU or attempt to bust you, the more often you'll get people trying.

By the way, saying thank you is not a reward douche bag, it's being polite and courteous.

So if someone is willing to take a chance at getting caught, failing or just using their ap to bust me out I will thank them. And I notice people who can't be bothered with a quick "thanks", maybe the next time I can't be bothered with trying to bust them.

I only said that cause you don't say much. It reminded me of when I was a kid and I used to randomly yell out to my brother -R.I.P- (who was a very quiet lil dude) "shut the F#@k up - you talk too much". Especialy when no one was saying anything - kinda like an ice-breaker! So I didn't mean to come off lippy, sorry HOWL.
