Are you suppose to thank people for selecting you for best answer?

Question

Or just do a happy wiggle and go on. What is the proper thing to do?

Answer 1

A thanks would be appropriate, yeah. Especially if the asker chose your answer out of - let's say - 50 answers. Now that takes a lot of patience to check each one of them and then pick THE ONE. :)

So just say "thanks", ya know, for the effort :)

Answer 2

I always thank someone for choosing mine as best answer. I think it is the nice thing to do since I am up 10 more pts.

Answer 3

It's 50/50. I think more people just read what's on the page. I always thank them when I select them. When you send an email, sometimes they think you're hitting on them.

Answer 4

I hope not.....there it no place for such a thing on the "You've been chosen....." If so, Oops!
But that seems like sending a thank you note for a thank you note.

Answer 5

no i don't. when i ask a question and choose a best answer, i thank the person for answering though.

Answer 6

I always thank the people that give me best answer, usually by e-mail!!

=)

Answer 7

It's not a requirement but I do it. Just say thanks in the "Add Comments" section underneath the Best Answer.

Answer 8

I always say thanks.....I like to thank people who take the time to answer my question...(time is precious)

Answer 9

I never thought about it. It's a little thrill to get chosen 'best answer', so I guess a thanks might be in order.

Answer 10

thats a good question...i have a few people that i'd have to go back and thank
