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?

Dweller brings up a good question to pose.

If this whole net thing didnt exist, or even if it does and you actually talked to somebody in person who amoung us thinks some of these posters would not be nearly as arogant and rude if they were face to face with real world humans who would punch them for their out of line efforts?
I am a smartass all the time and every member who I talk to or have meant knows this but I am wondering if these
"Typing Tough guys" are a joke to just me or you guys also?
Oh and thanks for your time,
Chad

I think the "no thank you" syndrome may be indicative of a change in psycology fostered by the 'net.

me thinks it's part of a much larger problem...
Yup I try to be polite, it even bugs me when folks dont ask please or say thanks in a post, and I try to close my threads with a thanks, in an attempt to to be polite plus a hint to all members my question has been answered. Then if members still post I may not look again so I cant say I come back to say thanks.
Most definitely! It's just good manners. Even the other party failed to help/answer the questions, I still think is is appropriate to at least say "thank you". Just my 2 cents
I always reply with a thank you.

However not always get a reply to my e-mails when someone asks for an opinion.
And even once I had this happen:
got an e-mail from a guy asking about a certain speaker and I replied with a very thorough, nice and detailed e-mail reflecting my thoughts on the speakers in question.
Got nothing back from the original requestor, but got an insulting e-mail from his buddy, who disagreed with me displaying a fair amount of rage.
Can't figure this one out, but what are you going to do?
