This time of year, we get lots of questions like "Should I wear the blue dress or black for pref?" "Should I list xyz on my resume?" My point is that it is always a good idea to practice good manners (you received a thank-you immediately, I received none), and that if a girl is wondering how she should prepare for recruitment, brushing up on social graces is a good base to cover.

You didn't want to sound snippy? Mission not accomplished. Passive-aggressiveness IS snippy. Plus, your getting or not getting a thank you note has as much chance of affecting her recruitment as my dog getting on Broadway. Unless you actually no-rec her for not sending a thank-you, in which case, you'd be a total bitch with less social grace than that which you complain about.
People, if you EXPECT a thank-you note and are going to get POed for not receiving one, do everyone involved a favor and refrain from doing favors.
