A "thanks" in the question is a thanks in advance to all who took the time to help, whether a good answer or not. That seems to me, to be appropriate. IMHO the word(s) "thanks"/"thank you" are totally appropriate and conducive to good community. Removing it is overkill and adds nothing, not even to the clarity of the question. | |
| Sep 4, 2013 at 16:33 | comment | added | authentictech | It makes sense to me to remove excessive personal fluff from a question, but removing such small pleasantries just because they do not contribute specific content, it seems to me, would just change the tone of the SU community to one that is a little less pleasant. I always end my questions with "Thanks" out of politeness and genuine gratitude for people providing their free time to help me but I noticed today this was edited out (among other changes though). Is this a deliberate sitewide policy or just some editors' personal preferences? THANKS! | |
