whenever i'm posting on an issue tracker for some open source software maintained by volunteers i feel really like. i dunno. i don't like to put lots of pleasantries because i never see that. but i keep wanting to say "thank you so much for your help!" etc. but i don't ever see anyone else write like that. maybe it's a macho culture thing? like if someone's taking their time to fix some bug just to help me i really wanna thank them. but maybe it's inappropriate? why don't people do it more often
@jk I'd probably go for a "cheers for that" than anything more effusive
comes across as more "yes, you took time out of your day to help out, thanks for that, here is an acknowledgement" than "oh thank you thank you kind person you're wonderful and thank you so much for helping me!" which always sounds somewhat disingenuous to me
