Since you did not define "best" and "crap" I'd just say Logwatch.
* You have created quite a lot of threads recently on a wide range of topics, and some of those have not seen replies from you. Not that posting "thanks", "it works" or equivalent or stating you're dropping the thread is mandatory in any way, but closure in some way would seem respectful.

I apologize, usually I put TIA (thanks in advance) on the initial post, also I am a contributing member and made a donation in addition to that, which is another way of me saying thanks.
But you're right I should says thanks again specifically to the individual(s) that responded to the post or let them know if it worked or not.
No need to apologise as I said it isn't mandatory. And thanks for contributing to LQ, it's highly appreciated. (And I'm not trying to single you out for doing things "wrong", try to see as it as me investing in "getting things right", because some of your questions are interesting because of the background, topics and such.) I'm more concerned with threads where there's no interaction or closure. For instance there are threads where a reply requires clarity, asking you related questions, before a solution can be presented. Also there's threads where posting a reply something works is not only helpful for us (so we don't have to follow-up), but also for others who may encounter that thread later on, looking for a solution. After all that's what we're aiming for at LQ: a knowledgebase not for you, not for me, but for all of us, now and in the future.
