I think being thanked for my taking the time to answer someone's question is proper and polite. I thank the people who answer my questions and I absolutely expect to be thanked for giving my answers. It is rude to do otherwise.

No cos when people do it to me it actually bugs me cos I thought someone had something interesting to say about my answer, then all you get is thanks! No thanks haha

It's nice, but unecessary.
by VSPrasad on April 16th, 2009
Instead of thanks, some persons write some unexpected
remarks. I will be still willing to receive such things.
by dea_ex_machina on April 16th, 2009
No.. not at all - in fact, i find it a little irritating - cause then I have to go through the comments boxes thinking I have some helpful little comment, only to find it is a 'thanks'. Then I have a dilemma - do I respond to the 'thanks' with a 'you're welcome' or just leave it?
Oh dear - it is so difficult.

I have no expectations from anyone.People have never lived up to my expectations.

I think it's nice to tell someone more than just "thanks" when they take the time to answer your question.
by JoeK32880 on April 15th, 2009
I actually think it's a waste of time. That's what points are for.
But I do love actual responses.
by Phillis - Zacks little sister on April 15th, 2009
I prefer a thougtful response if I gave a thougtful answer. Just saying thanks seems like they feel forced to say something, so they go with the minimal.
But if I'm just kidding around or being a smartass, I don't mind.
by Kewl Guy - has gone 360 on May 14th, 2009
not at all - that would get quite annoying
by daisychain on April 16th, 2009
I don't expect it, but it is nice to get one.
by Rahbar on April 15th, 2009
I don't expect!
by Ed the Jetpacking Headbanger on April 15th, 2009
I don't expect any feedback.
by Marky Mark on April 15th, 2009
No, not from the asker of the question. It's great to get a comment, question or even just a "lol" or smile but a "thanks" on its own - naah - thats what points are for.
by CT on April 15th, 2009
I don't expect no..but, its only polite :D
by Dior on April 15th, 2009
Not really but I have noticed that some people will thank all their friends who have answered their question and ignore everyone else.
by President Norris 2016 on April 15th, 2009
No, but its better than "dude you suck!" Thanks shows you value an opinion.
by dr asif bly on April 15th, 2009
NOT AT ALL BUT WANT SOME COMMENTS ON MY ANSWER.5
by Disturbed in a Jr COAT is so confused on April 15th, 2009
Not at all. But it is nice, and I try to give a thanks to everybody that answers my questions.
by Autism Knows is finally Maestro on April 15th, 2009
Not at all...:o)
by Seeya says Dont Ever Give Up on April 15th, 2009
no
by Lady Lavender on April 15th, 2009
It's not necessary to me.
by mtndewman44 on July 30th, 2009
Yes,I actually do,I answer those that answer my questions,I expect the same in return!
by Ronaldo on April 25th, 2009
Never........expect anything from others.......
by Nancy on April 24th, 2009
No, but I like points!
by Craigor on April 24th, 2009
No.
by Firebrand on April 24th, 2009
I do not expect one but comments are nice.
by AnonymousGirl on April 24th, 2009
No. It's not necessary at all. When I first started using Answerbag a lot, I used to say thank you to everyone I could who answered my questions. After awhile, it got old. I did mean it every time and I still do. That doesn't change that it still got old. I've moved on and like more creative responses to answers now.
by rebellious angel on June 17th, 2011
no the thanks disappoints me. I want a real response with their gut reaction to my comment
Why are comments I am posting saying I asked them "One hour ago" right after I post them? Does this have to do with time changes?

How often do you hijack other people's conversation threads?

Why, when I tried to post a comment, first it didn't work, then I tried again and it posted it three times? What caused that?

I have seen questions deleted for one reason or another. Does the AB censorship board ever delete comment threads ?

I do, too Rosie especially when they take the time to thank everyone else that has answered and then segregate only one or two people...that is more than rude..it is downright hurtful. {{{hugs}}}
by LoggyBren on April 15th, 2009
Yes. I agree. I don't expect to be thanked for every single answer I give, but sometimes I'll write a great big long answer - on some sort of question about global warming most likely, lol - I like to have thanks then, because it takes me a while.
Some people might find it old fashioned to just say a good ol' thanks, but I DON'T. It's nice. ;)
PS. Thanks. Hehe.

Hi, Loggybren! Happy Thursday sweetie! :) ((hugs))
by RosieGHM Jetpacker on April 16th, 2009
Thanks..For your sensible answer.
by -Ben 10- on April 17th, 2009
You're welcome, BT. Thank you for the compliment! :)
by RosieGHM Jetpacker on April 17th, 2009
I disagree. I believe it is rude to expect to be thanked.
