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.”
