I'm in the same boat. Like classyladytwo, I prefer to thank everyone personally, but then there isn't much time left for learning, rendering, and commenting. I don't have to deal with 24kb (ouch shood!) but I do work, and share my computer with 2 teenagers. I think I'm going to have to discontinue my personal thank you's for the time being. I'm just not seeing any other way at the moment. :(
