Thank You – Is it that hard to say?

Today’s post is written out of frustration regarding email etiquette. I apologize as I usually do not rant in my posts.
How hard is it to acknowledge receipt of an email? All you have to do is hit the reply button, type in Thank you or some other short acknowledgment, and hit the send button. This way your recipient knows you received the email that was sent. It shows respect. Isn’t that a good thing?
Uh oh, I’m definitely guilty of this one. I think I rationalize it as not wanting to unnecessarily fill someone’s inbox with drivel. I drives me crazy though when someone fails to say thank you face to face, why would it be different virtually.
Thanks for your response, Amy. And so true. It really is the same, whether face to face or virtually.
