I feel the same way Dean. I used to give TYs for everything I received. But I have zero luck at getting much of anything I need when I get them from others and I gift so much that I just decided I didn't want to receive TYs anymore, not even to know a friend is still active. I still get tons of them though but, with very rare exceptions, I decline them every time. And if I don't want them and refuse them, it just doesn't seem fair for me to give them myself. So now I only give TYs for any CIs I receive and accept, but not for any CEs. I figure the CIs and CEs I give others serve as a thank you and to let everyone know I'm active.

I used to try and give TYs for at least some CEs I received, at least for those I knew wanted them. But the only way I could keep track of who to and who not to was to use my tracking spreadsheet. And with all the gifting I do, it just takes too much time to use the spreadsheet. I find all or nothing works best...either I give TYs for all gifts, including CEs, or I only give TYs for CIs. And there are probably enough people out there who do give TYs all the time that I'm sure my friends aren't really missing mine.

Hopefully everyone is OK with that. 🙏
