@ Sanket.. I really see the primary motive of this post as one to inform other members about the third ranking you got in the most thanked members list...
And even if you have written this post to know whether you deserve this third rank, then I dont feel anyone, even if he thinks so, would reply that you dont deserve this rank... You wil get many more comments that you deserve it...
My view is that 'NUMBER OFTHANKS' is no where near a criteria to judge the contribution made to this site as mentioned by some of the senior members.. many members keep thanking all replies to their posts (even I am one of them) and I can see some members reply to all such posts just to increase their 'THANKS'
So, I would like to say.. just keep doing the good work you doing on this site.. people will remember you more for your informative and useful posts rather than this kind of posts...
