I (and my sockpuppets) tend to thank people once the thread seems to have run its course. I'm a bit more hesitant regarding marking responses as best answer, unless there is a very obvious right answer.
If I respond to someone else's question I don't feel particularly offended if there is no best answer or a thankyou. It does irk me though if the asker gets stroppy because they don't get the answers they wanted.

PeterMcDermott: "Jesus, I hate Trots (...) Nice attempt to avoid deletion by posting an advert to the gray instead of the blue though (...) my daughter is a first year student (...) I told her to tell them she'd embraced anarchism. That saw them off."

So what's the story PeterMcDermott, you're gonna show up at this meetup or is this just an underhanded snark?... [more]

Someone once told me Western Australia's state motto used to be "State of Excitement" which I have a hard time believing.

I think PJ is just encouraging you to go metric.

Thanks pj_rivera for organising the challenges each month. It definitely motivates me to keep putting in my mileage each week.

And I don't mind sequential and shinypenny taking part at a slightly different pace. If anything, that helped me occasionally put in an extra K or two.

Damn, I wish I could take part. Had to drop out of the last one halfway through because of my creaky hip. Nevertheless, it was a great motivator to try and clock up at least a few Ks each week against those bloody champions doing about 18 Ks per week (!)

And congrats, of course, ajr. 90.17 Ks in 30 days! Small wonder I did my hip in, just thinking about that effort makes me hurt.
