: I used to be of the opinion that "thank you" was "unneccessary : traffic". In fact, IIRC, it was part of proper usenet : netiquette.

It doesn't have to be a "thank you". A : simple message saying that "the problem was solved using : technique X" provides a helpfull and informative end-cap : for a discussion. It might also point out other errors we might not otherwise catch. The advice taken might have been bad advice and the application of good advice might be a faulty. Charles K.
