Hi again,
I didn't intend to make a big deal out of saying what I said. I really don't have a great hunger for thanks, but I just feel that a reasonable level of politeness is not too much to expect. Surely you would agree?
In addition, I'm sure you've noticed that anonymous posters regularly ask us to check a very, very great deal of text that relates to the shipping, receiving

You're speaking for me!
It's not necessary to shower the people who help here with praise and glory, but acknowledging that this is something we do as volunteers and that we're actual people might be a nice thing to do.

You're speaking for me, too, Clive! Especially in this part:

Hi,
I appreciate and understand your sensible comment.
However, here's my personal assessment as a teacher. We receive many, many of these questions about shipping/delivering/invoicing, and we answer them all.. Yet no questions are ever asked (or at least I don't remember any) about our edits and suggested changes, and the same kinds of errors seem to be repeated again and again.
