It depends on my relationship with the person. If I don't know them well, there's usually a "natural end" to the conversation where the content is finished, and then I might say "Thanks" or something just to indicate that I read their last comment. Sometimes things go wildly wrong if I'm talking to friends, and things like this happen: http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/820337 In a case like that, your question isn't dumb at all. there seems to be no way to end the thread.

If I don't have anything to add, I don't say anything more. Maybe that's rude, but some people seem to think they need to have the last word, so I let them.
