It's not necessarily a regional thing.
I remember being taught in Illinois to send thank you notes for job interviews.
I interviewed at least 15 southerners for an Admin job here in NC - not one thank you note.
Also, my original point still stands: Yes, thank you notes are polite and SHOULD be sent, but if you're going to get pissed off about NOT getting one, then don't do the favor to begin with.
My aunt told my mom that she would only send my kids a Christmas gift if I sent her a Christmas card (I'm not at a point in my life where I'm doing Christmas cards en masse, and I'm not really all that close to many people in my family due to age difference and geography). My aunt is fairly well off and would have probably sent my children very expensive gifts. She did NOT get a Christmas card - and no, my kids didn't get gifts from her. I hate when people determine that generosity should have stipulations.
