It's the human interaction bit. I was *delighted* when I got a "thank
you" for an edit, and really wanted to be able to do the same thing
for anonymous users - it means "someone has noticed your good edit*,
immediate positive feedback. That's why I think we really need to make
the "thank you" mechanism work for anons, somehow.
