Hi Isarra and Gergo,
Thanks very much for the feedback.
I appreciate the suggestion about a poll. I have been reluctant to start a poll about this because I have several other issues that are occupying my mind at the moment, including WMF's relationship with the community/communities in general and ENWP in particular. Also, I have other tasks that I need to complete.
I am continuing to send these threads to Wikimedia-l, and as of this month an adapted version of these threads is included in *The Signpost* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signpost.
In the future, I think that a poll would be worth considering. In the meantime I think that Wikitech-l may be well served by the "Thank you Tuesday" threads.
Regards,
Pine ( https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Pine )

Regular practice of gratitude is well-understood to be a key element of personal well-being (and while community health is a less researched area, it seems likely that the benefits extend there too). As such these threads are IMO very useful.

Mailing lists aren't really a good place to establish consensus, as every time someone weighs in, everyone is notified, so 'me too's are frowned upon in principle.
Perhaps you might want to create an actual poll about preferred venues etc onwiki and then send out a message to wikimedia-l linking to that if you want a more meaningful assessment.
