E-mail response question?

[mcfanfordreamy]

I have been writing a lot of letters via e-mail and I was wondering if you do get a response back from (Example a athlete) and they promise they will try to get a autograph to you:

1. Respond to there e-mail thanking them?
2. Length of time you should wait and should you ask them again if it's been a while?

I am wondering what is the proper procedure in these events. I don't want to seem ungrateful in anyway or disrespectful in anyway. I know with athletes especially that they are busy training and I feel kind of weird bothering them but I do love giving my support and I have gotten a lot of responses, so I am a little curious on procedure. Thanks..I would love any advice you guys have. {thumb2}

If I send a request via email, I send a thank you email once I have recieved the autograph.

I have only ever requested one autograph through email, and when I recieved it I sent a thank you back

Whenever I ask via e-mail (which is pretty often), and end up getting a response, I most of the time forget to send a thank you e-mail, even though I'm very grateful that I actually received something.

The one person I did remember to thank was Greg Cravens. I think I'm kinda friends with him now, considering the fact that we talk through e-mail. {love}
