I want to see a coin seller/dealer thank a coin buyer publicly

You often read on here about someone thanking this or that dealer/seller on coin(s) he/she purchased. But, I cannot recall a seller come on and say, " Thank you Joe, for buying my coins ". After all, if there were no buyers, then sellers/dealers would be out of business, right?
So, what do you say, dealers?

If you read my sig line, you'll understand my thoughts on the necessity of buying coins.
I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.

1. It is up to the buyer to decide whether the results of a private transaction should be divulged publicly. I would be annoyed if a seller announced a sale to me in public.
2. It could be viewed as grandstanding by a large number of board members if a seller thanked a buyer and likely result in the seller being flamed for one thing or another.
3. I think it is unnecessary. Sellers usually thank me at the point of purchase, I thank them, and that's that. As a buyer, I often (but not always) publicly thank a seller as a promotional pitch for the seller and to show a new coin to my collecting friends here. Thanking the seller allows any members or lurkers to learn where to get such a coin, if interested.
When I was in college, I worked part-time for a local jeweler. He used to send thank-you notes to his customers, until one day he got a call from an angry wife, wanting to know why the hell her husband had spent so much money on jewelry, and she hadn't seen any of it!!!!
D'oh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bob -
Thank you for buying the raw AU 1796 small eagle dollar last week. When I bought it, I didn't notice that it had been mounted at 12 o'clock. I thought I was buried for life. When you walked up to the table and explained that you didn't know anything about coins but wanted to put something special away for your retirement, I knew that my prayers had been answered. You paid me a 30% profit and the check even cleared. I am tremendously appreciative for your business and hope to do much more in the future. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Sincerely,

Oh, and I should add: All you dealers who didn't thank me today for buying things (and you know who you are) are in deep trouble.
