Sending a death threat probably works better.

Interviewers have stacks and stacks of resumes to look at, they don't have TIME for thank-you notes. "No, no, yes, no, no, maybe, maybe, no, yes, no, maybe, ummm...thank-you note? This brown-noser is wasting my time with a thank-you note!"

I'd never send a thank you note for something as miserable and unpleasant as an job interview. ¬¬
But seriously, it *is* considered a nicety in some occupations, like business or law. I once scored a job with a phone call, but I was calling about something I had forgotten to put on my resumé, and just happened to get my future boss at the very moment he was looking through the applications. He said, ok, you'll be my first interview, and I was also his last... he hired me on the spot, and I started that very day. Not really a follow-up phone call, more like a crap-I-fucked-up-my-resume-now-I-have-to-call-them-like-some-kind-of-idiot phone call, but it worked.

If you light up a cigar while someone is interviewing you, and they don't sue you, THEN you have to send a thank you card, in return the interviewer should let you fuck thier sister, unless the interviewer IS the sister, in which case it's all moot.

Are you some sort of a joke?

Yeah, actually that is kind of expected by some interviewers. Im taking a resume/interview class this semester(my last), and according to the teacher like 50% of people polled said that they didnt concider or thought less of someone that didnt send a thank you note.
The thank you note is also used to mention things you might have forgotten during the actual interview as well. So if there was a point you had meant to make, you can kind of work that into your thank you letter.

I never heard of the thank-you note tradition. As far as I'm concerned, the only way to get a job is to be the right person for it.
