Robin sez:

Yeah.. What the hang? I use "thanks in advance" merely as a courtesy.
What's
the big deal?

There's no "big deal", except that the curt, "thanks in advance" has a ring
of finality to it, IMO. Again, and IMO, it is less "put-offish" to use no
closing at all.

Your tacky offer of "thanks in advance" places a very low premium on
any
information that may be forthcoming. Therefore, I decline to
participate
in
your troll-like ploy for attention. There is no doubt, however, there
are
many others that will accede to your request. So, standby and prepare
to
be
innundated with information ... you pick that which may be reliable.
