I am one of the regulars here and so as not to offend anyone personally I wish to remain anonymous. I wanted to point out that there is a trend of thanking people for commenting on your images. When you make a comment and you thank the person for commenting it makes it seem like you are almost paying the person for their comments. When I receive a thanks on my profile I feel like my comment has been cheapened to a consummer product and I feel like never commenting on that user's images again.

Everyone has experienced the joy of having your image being appreciated and knows that you are always grateful. You do not need to post a 'thank-you' everytime you receive a comment. It only leads to oversaturated profiles where the person who posts the most comments receives the most "thanks". The profile page is there for an appriciation of the artist himself not of the singular feedback they give. Sure you can thank them for their comments on your images, but do you really need to do it 50 times? All that is needed is a "Thanks N for all of your wonderful and thoughtful comments on my images. I really appreciate your time and consideration." To me, I find that much more genuine and encouraging than "Thank you for your kind words on N!" Then you have people thanking people for thanking them, "Thank you for thanking me for commenting on your image!!"

Bottom Line: Don't make your gratitude an annoyance.
