If you would have ended the video with "Thanks You" for watching, every smart ass on the web would have given you a comment! I just wanted to be the first! And yes... Thank You for such a great video!!!

Scott's got it right. Thank you (for the effort), You're welcome (it was no problem at all"! That's my take on things.

See, that's why you're the great Renetto and I'm just some guy babbling into a camera!

And, in anticipation of your expression of appreciation for my assessment of your Internet prowess: No problem!

Tricky entendres there, Scottso!

Evaluating the degree of difficulty of extending a courtesy is funny stuff.

So for you, "no problem" means, "be careful, 'cause the next one might cost ya'"? I can see that. Thanks.

There's definitely a generational aspect to these two phrases, like you say. I think there is a difference, since "no problem" is a kind of double negative rather than "my pleasure," which is an assertion. I know they're now used interchangeably but there are subtleties involved that I enjoy exploring!

Thanks!

no problem .... it was no imposition?

I'd do it for anyone. Don't consider yourself special.

Comment by sillysillytom on August 17, 2009 at 2:54pm

Wow it is a funny thought... In general I say your welcome but when the individual makes it sound like I bent over backwards for doing what I did etc. I say "really it was no problem" I still say the your welcome but toss that in for extra measure so they stop acting like I spent my last moment of life helping them. hee hee.
