Agree, & think it's inappropriate/really bad form that someone's thanks or lack of should be raised in a birthday thread. If someone has a problem with people not responding, they can either PM said individuals or start a generic thread re: birthday thread etiquette (preferably in Omni rather than screwing up someone's birthday thread). FWIW - I'm not sure why anyone feels a need to be thanked for sending best wishes, but that's a topic for Omni too
Again, birthday wishes to both Gary & Marty, & condolences to Gary on his grandfather's passing.
