Yes, if you use Yahoo Mail or some other free e-mail provider, they
attach an advertisement. They probably attach an ad if you use a free
ISP, too. I use Earthlink and they don't attach ads to e-mails, but I
pay $19.95 a month for my service.

Or perhaps people need to get over themselves. I don't expect to be
thanked in person. I don't have to be thanked at all, but if somebody
wants to, an e-mail is fine with me. I don't want to be thanked as much
as I would like to know if the item(s) I've given will be useful. If it
is, I may send similar items. If I get no response at all, I may assume
that the item wasn't useful and I won't send as often or I won't send
the same types of items.
What it boils down to is, I treat others how I expect to be treated. I
don't need to be told "thank you" face to face, via letter as opposed to
e-mail, or anything. Simply knowing the item was received and not lost
somewhere is plenty for me. Therefore I feel somewhat uncomfortable
when people hover over me expecting a thank you that I wouldn't want for
myself.
