e-mail etiquette question
If you e-mail someone a question (for example, if you e-mail a professor a question about a lecture), and they send you back a lengthy response, would you e-mail the professor back to at least say "thanks?"
I think I always did this/do this. And am amazed that the majority of these students don't. The ones that come to my office to ask questions, always are really polite (and are the same ones who do send "thank you" e-mails).
Re: e-mail etiquette question
Not only is sending a thank you email polite (and easy), it also indicates that you have received the email that the professor sent back. With all of the spam issues and network issues that can occur, acknowledging receipt of an email is fairly commonplace.
I always send thank you emails, even if the response to my question is short or not what i wanted to hear.

I am a gluten-free, gun-toting wife! :P
I love you, Daddy...2/24/1953 to 2/13/2011
my read shelf:
Yes I always do and echo all of the above sentiments.
In regards to the previous post: As a former teacher married to a part-time adjunct, I know DH and I have both also agreed that getting the one-liner thank you always puts us at ease because we know that the student received all the information we sent.
Thanks! I was beginning to think I was going crazy. There is a grad student who was in my old lab who asked a question that required a fairly detailed answer last fall, and I spent time looking back through my notes, finding references, relating my experience with the protocol, etc... and never heard back from her. She never even verbally thanked me the three times she saw me after that!
Then, teaching this class, i was just surprised at the number of students who didn't respond with any sort of acknowledgement at all. I always at least write a quick thanks!
