I have been watching here some members who gets many comments but never shows any sign of appreciation by saying "thanks". It is really nice to see people who gets comments and appreciate them by thanking. I really wonder why? Is it so difficult to thank anyone? Or do I have wrong judgement?

Do you mean in the gallery? Do contributors get notification of comments?

Personally, I don't care about being thanked. If I comment on someone's photo, I am not going to stick around and wait for a potential response...

I've never looked at the gallery. I thank people when I see them respond to my photos, usually by message or directly via email.

I would like to thank you all who send comment for this thread and for upcoming replies and comment.

Well, the comments on a picture in a gallery are not a thread. The person who comments on the picture will usually not revisit the picture to see if someone has reacted to his comment. Then it is better to thank directly via message as Godfrey proposes.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has ever commented on my pictures.

I thought I deeleted the first thread, but I noticed later that it did not work! No intention!.

It's just plain rude. If somebody expects you to spend your time looking at their photograph and commenting on their genius, they could at least acknowledge it.

If I comment on a photo in the gallery I don't expect a thank you. Only if I go back to that photo & check on comments I won't see it anyhow. The RFF Gallery isn't Flickr where comments appear on your home page that you commented on. I've never been a fan of the 'If I comment on your photo, you are obligated to comment on mine'. I don't get too many comments but when I do I like to think it's because I took a good photo.

To everyone when I post a comment its because I like the image that on commenting on not because I expect an acknowledgement.
To those who feel hurt or slighted because I didn't acknowledge or thank you for a comment you posted............................I am great ashamed and will now water board myself.

I feel really bad now, but ... honestly, I truly didn't notice. I often don't notice on flicker either so anyone I've offended there too I offer my sincere apologies, as for my face-book friends well, I really can't be bothered so I send all those bloody email notifications straight to junk as I can't figure out how to turn them off .... the modern world eh?
I'll PM Mike about the water boarding, whatever that is, as a penance

for better or for worse, I'm gonna throw in my 2 cents.
the "thank you" issue doesnt concern me so much. Yes, its polite to thank others, but
sometimes there are just too many "thank you's", and for me, it clogs the forum.
IMO, say thanks here and there, but not every time. We will get the point.
I guess I am more sensitive to those who only post pics and receive praise,
but never return it to other fotogs who are obviously good shooters.
Its arrogant, self-centered, and defeats the purpose of a community forum:
which to me is to support each other and help each other grow photographically.
Its just common-sense.

what a weird thread.
I don't even know how to check for new comments on the photos in the gallery (except going through all my photos and see whether there's a new comment - no i am not going through all my photos regularly, in fact i never do, do you??)

Why should someone have to thank a commenter ? Unless one asked for C&C, then there should be no expectation. It's not a quid pro quo situation imo

What's with all this etiquette driven navel gazing suddenly?
If I leave a comment in the gallery I do it because I genuinely like the photograph ... no return gesture is needed or expected!

I don`t think that anybody would avoid their appreciation but rather forget to check back if anybody posted a comment to their photos ... (at least in my case).
