It doesn't make anyone's opinion more or less valid, I go by what people write or post. There are no rules regarding the correct etiquette to "thanking", so don't worry about it. 
I think we're all in agreement with the bold statement. I think it works me up a lot because I frequently check back via 'New Posts' for answers to questions within the thread, only to see that the thread has been bumped, with no new info, because someone has said, "Thanks." I know it's a small rant, and unimportant to a lot of people, but isn't that really what a "Pet Peeve" is?
