people interviewing for jobs should also write a note of thanks. it shows that you have been "raised right" and may put you back in the thoughts of the interviewer.

I'm originally from (nearly) as far North as you can go, and I sent a thank you note to every person who wrote me a rec about a week after giving them my packet.
I've also tended to put more effort into the letters I've written for women who've sent me thank you notes, not because I appreciate it (which I do) but because I really want a woman with such good social graces in my sorority.
I've also sent a thank you to every interview, but that's a case of (a) wanting to be polite and (b) wanting the job.
I also don't think this was passive aggressive, but that's just me.
