Some are just links to the torrent. Some say that memberX has a ratio of 14 with oodles of seed points or uriah has a ratio of 0.003 with 4 seed points.

I always check them out, often the request has already been filled.

But I always think that the last 'thanks' will be from the requester or he will have left a comment thanking the original poster.

Guess what?  Zippo. So nothing changed there then
