Reader expresses a pet peeve about writers

Ol' Dave Rosenbaum, has written to express a pet peeve. He's wondering why some writers can't just say it, rather than express a yearning to say it.

He writes:
Almost daily I read or hear of someone who "would like to thank" someone. I always wonder just what is restraining them from actually going ahead and thanking those folks. They would like to, but are apparently unable. One of my pet peeves.
Bless you, Ol' Dave, for thy most wonderful insight: Hope our readers take note. And, by the way, Ol' Dave, we aim to eliminate "would like to" from our posts. We try to work with all. However, we do prioritize, accepting the easiest, most important submissions first, and actually filter non standard post, retrieving them when time is available. - ED
