Precisely my point. We tend to get on a first name basis and skip the thank you's entirely too often. Thats BS IMO, the folks who spend their time solving problems are more than likely scratching their own itches, but when they make it available to the rest of us, we really should be saying thank you. If not, that well may run dry & then we're all hurting. my 2c.
