I've noticed over time, that many people celebrating birthdays don't have the courtesy to come here and acknowledge their birthday greeting. In the case of gleff, he's not even around since he started mp. His last post was 6 months ago. 
Happy birthday Marty.

Gary isn't the only one guilty of this. I've noticed a couple of others too.

In answer to your question, it's even more insulting that he's been on FT, and didn't post here. If I posted a birthday greeting that didn't get a response, I'd be pi$$ed.
I know of at least 2 others, but since it's not their birthday thread, I won't mention their names. Plus, that would be a TOS viloation.

Dan, and others, of course I appreciate the birthday greetings. Thank you to everyone who offered them, and to mrp alert a happy belated as well!
Several people sent me emails about this thread. I spent my birthday and the couple of days following at my grandfather's side before he passed. I apologize to anyone that I've offended by failing to give those messages which were offered in a generous spirit their due attention.

Sorry...Happy belated Birthday to you both 
hope you had a lovely day and great upgrades. I dont check into FT nearly as much as I used to so I missed this one 
!
Gleff - sorry to hear of your loss
To Dan - Some of us didnt even get their old Birthday threads bumped this year (haha FB does tend to take over these days I find).
EDIT...ok just saw my thread was bumped a few weeks after I checked on it...so I eat my words...Dan

This thread has taken an odd turn, IMO. Wishing someone a Happy Birthday is something that should be done in good spirit, not as a reason to keep score on whether they reply. It's quite possible that someone doesn't reply because they didn't notice the post or thread.

What is your opinion about idiots who start these threads and then don't keep up with them in future years?
Oops! I am that idiot for this thread.
My apologies to Gleff and MRP Alert for not wishing them a happy birthday in time this year -- but I hope they both have happy days for the rest of the year.
