I knew what my weakness was in my interview and without mentioning it said something along the lines of how the new job would fix that weakness. Got an email back from her saying shed sent my info to HR to start the hiring process. And I mean this job was a huge stretch.

Congrats on getting your "stretch" job, but if you really think your thank you note sealed the deal, I got oceanfront property in Arizona to sell you.

I wouldn't base a hiring decision on it, but I do think slightly less of people who don't send a follow up email after an interview. I recognize that they may not always have contact info, but I try to provide it when I can.

So I vote for sending.
