I find "Thanks" are an odd creature. I've made posts that I thought were witty, funny and intelligent that got little to no thanks when I thought I would receive them. Then I've made posts that were off the cuff, off hand, smarmy posts that had numerous thanks.

I've found there are two types of posts I made that get thanked.

1 - short, sarcastic, smarmy, witty & funny posts

2 - taking a position outside the norm that is being argued with a well laid out, articulated counter-point (usually in a heat of the moment venting thread)


That said I like the thanks. When you look at your statistics and go through your thanked posts, it's like a greatest hits record of all your own best work!
