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 always say thank you. I am however a hunt and peck typer. I try and keep things short and to the point for that reason.

I find most people on this forum to be polite. My activities have dropped up here in the past 18 months. You can usually tell by a persons initial contact how polite they are... Good topic.
I learned that lesson between the ages of 2/3. My mom taught it to me. How about you?
I think its a good thing to do,alot of times theres always some smart asses that want to be cute,but for the guys that provide real based experience yeah i think its appropriate.
Have I said Thank You for your advice (even though directed to someone else's posts), shared experience, and considered opinions. Not to mention the entertainment.

I think Dweller, Newbee, Blindjim, and Piet all make a viable point. The paradigm in communication and community is changing. Again.

BTW - I am getting ready to post a question, so I am sucking up early.
