I was taking the saying of "Thank you" as a given.  I recognize that one
can say 'thank you' and I try to say it as often as possible, for one
thing, it's just basic courtesy.  And it's not said nearly enough, at least
in this Kingdom, as far as I can see.  Granted, your mileage may vary.

We were speaking in terms of awards.
