The problem is that someone makes a nice post, gets five comments, including some that are in totality, "Nice". Then the person sends thanks to all five correspondents. That makes eleven emails generated. If the posting generates a thread then it becomes far more, and that's OK, because it is constructive. I'm on several lists, plus I have a good deal of work-related emails, so if I'm not paying attention, I can easily amass 100 emails a day, not counting the spam. I think an off-list "thank you" is good if you aren't answering a question, or otherwise informing about the image shown.
