list etiquette

I think you should focus more on kernel development/discussion rather
than saying thank you's. Etiquette wise it's perfectly okay.

I don't think greg or any senior kernel developer would like to get
personal mail, which are officially the list/community business.
Skipping thank you mails is really okay. you can always thank them in
advance is a good idea.

LKML list etiquette question.  When asking a [simple] question that
receives an suitable answer is it correct etiquette to reply with a
thank you email or is this just adding noise to the list?
(Probably obvious, but you can always reply with a "thank you",
sent directly to the people who answered rather than to the list.)
I had got the vibe that it was unacceptable to mail people directly and
not cc
the list. Is this response correct that there are times it is acceptable
to
exclude the list. GregKH has had to nudge me twice for doing this so I am
very
hesitant to write any emails that are not in the clear (cc'ing a list).
