Do you say Thank You?

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?

After retiring from the Air Force I owned and operated a small retail business. One day a young lady was hanging around the counter, just observing. Of course I had to ask what she was doing; she was doing a research paper and observing the language patrons used when placing orders. Well I started paying closer attention and realized "give me" or "I want" were used much more often than "please" as the first words for ordering. Now I never place an order without putting a please in somewhere.
As for questions from Audiogon members, I think very rarely has my correspondence ended without a courteous farewell.
