list etiquette

[Mel Seder]

I read a internet page/posting that said a mailing list shouldn't
contain thank you postings.  Those should be sent directly to the
person you want to thank so as not to have everyone download posts that
don't really have any interesting or informative content.

I wanted to thank anton-F0u+EriZ6ihBDgjK7y7TUQ at public.gmane.org for posting the command to start
Real Player but didn't want to add fluff to the list so I sent the
thanks directly to Anton.

Can I please have input as to what is the custom on this list?
