Let me stack up a few thank you's. First, a long overdue thank you from me to you regarding articles of mine you have read and commented upon, as I do very much appreciate it. Second, a thank you for writing this article. Third, thank you for pointing out the obvious. A shame you needed to take the time to point it out. I agree that the words "thank you" are simply good manners in any and all places times circumstances and scenarios. On Planet Earth, "thank you" is never an insult....unless, of course, it is spoken with dripping sarcasm, which was obviously not the issue here. Whatever planet it is that some people live on where "thank you" is an insult, that is not a planet I want to live on or even visit. I have enough troubles with language and communication as it is. So, thank you. :-) (And a parenthetical note, If anything I thought you might have been rather too polite about all of this. LOL )
