Mariner,
I was responding to the following post by disposition:
“YW is a for-profit enterprise, hosting, and now e-mailing, advertisements for the sole purpose of generating revenue for its proprietors. While it’s certainly their right and I wish them best of luck in their endeavors, the excessive commendations is unwarranted.”
He/she did not mention Chessed, and neither did I. He made reference to “excessive commendations” for a “for-profit enterprise”, and I responded that I thank those who help me.
I see you are a concrete thinker. Therefore, perhaps I need to clarify for you: I thank those running for-profit enterprises, and those who are not running for profit-enterprises. I thank them both, and I consider it Mentchlich to do so.
This is my personal view, which I am now learning is not shared by all. That is OK; I like to learn new things.
Unlike disposition or me, you brought up Chessed, for unknown reasons. I hope all is clear now, and you can rest easy knowing that I enjoy giving commendations, excessive or otherwise, to those who have helped me. If you are still having difficulty regarding my comment to disposition, please feel free to ask.
