Am I the only one who gets pissed at emails whose entire content is “Thanks”?

If I see an email that has the same topic as one I just sent you information on, I’m probably going to stop what I’m doing and take the time to open it and read it incase I need to provide you with more information.  When I see that it only says “Thanks” it has the exact opposite affect that you were probably going for.

The exception to this is if I was helping you figure out how to make something work, and I gave you multiple possible solutions, then you can say “Thanks, changing the blah-blah to fidgety-blivet seems to have fixed it.”

I think I need to start filling out checks like this…

As you may remember, each year I see if I can do a better job of picking the winners in NCAA basketball tournement than my quarter.  With the down economy, this year I had to use two dimes and a nickle (2dn system) instead of a quarter for my base-line bracket.  I don’t think much of the 2dn system at this point — I seriously doubt that the final four will be Robert Morris, Cal, Villanova, and Butler, with Butler winning it all.

For my bracket I picked Louisville, UConn, Duke, and Oklahoma, with Louisville winning it all.
