[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess my question is this - why not be as nice and gracious as possible and do a quick thank you note?  It is arguable that they're not 100 percent required if you give a nice oral thank you.  But why not take the extra step and be as nice and polite as you possibly can?  [/quote]

Because, just like many things in life, it's not worth it to me to take that extra step.  When baking cupcakes, sometimes I use a mix and sometimes I make that extra effort and make them from scratch.  Sometimes I buy my plants from the nursery, sometimes I make the extra effort and grow them from seed.  Sometimes I buy cheap products made in China, sometimes I pay extra and buy them Made In America.  You may feel that it's worth the extra strep to write a thank you note when one isn't required and that's fine but you shouldn't be judgmental of those who don't choose to take the extra effort - just like you shouldn't judge people for making cupcakes from a mix.  The important thing is that one gives thanks for a gift.[/quote]

Bad analogy.

The true analogy here is "some people take the time to make cupcakes from scratch, other people use a mix, and still other people don't bother to make cupcakes at all because making cupcakes is stupid and pointless and no one really likes cupcakes they just toss them in the trash and making cupcakes just shows that you have nothing better to do than make cupcakes."
