I don't see anything wrong with thanking someone for something!  No brownie
points expected!  Just appreciation!  Furthermore, Bob Gardner already
posted that there was nothing wrong with  Leslie's post!      Let's stop
being so petty!           Sincerely, Linda

Privately. What a concept. Could others please respond to
these thank yous and such privately. Whe all don't need to
know that you thanked someone unless you think you will
get extra credit for being polite. The only person who
really appreciates the thank you ore such is the person
you are thanking.
