Herbert Cornfeld be rollin' in hiz grave

A brief "out of office email" just came across my inbox from an accounts receivable employee. Leaving aside the email's unintentionally comedic opening, "I out of office," I was struck by the awkwardness of its salutation, which read, "THANKS!!!" That is an exact rendition -- letter for letter, punctuation mark for punctuation mark. All caps and three exclamation points.

Why is this person so grateful?
Why must the gratitude be so IN MY FACE?
Is this person's intent to BLOW...MY...MIND a la power thirst?

Strange...
