Do you say Thank You?


I'd like to know the experience of Audiogoners who have emailed members privately for information or advice. If you receive a careful and considered reply to your question, do you acknowledge the reply with a thank you? I try to do so. It's proper etiquette, isn't it?

My experience is that more than half do not.

Why do you suppose that is?

I'd settle for correct spelling and grammar ;--) but this reminds me of an incident that took place in Filenes Basement (department store) in Boston. A customer, a woman, took an armload of merchandise up to the cashier who folded it nicely, packed it all in bags, swiped the woman's credit card, and handed her the receipt -- all WITHOUT A WORD, SMILE, OR EYE CONTACT.

As the woman gathered up her purchases, she turned to the salesgirl and said, "A 'thank you' would be nice . . ." to which the salesgirl replied, without missing a beat, "It's printed on ya receipt!"
