Honestly, with feedback all posted in a single public forum (i.e., LJ), I don't think it's inappropriate to post a single answer in that same forum (so at the bottom of the post, or in the next few posts). Feedback in individual private emails, though, should be acknowledged the same way. The chief problem with this approach to LJ feedback is that the feedbacker may not see it and so think her feedback was ignored altogether, which is unfortunate.

I've been answering LJ feedback individually since I moved to SGA, as a sort of experiment, but I don't think what I did before was inappropriate. It's not like I'm a feedback-answering-slacker--I don't think I *ever* failed to acknowledge a legitimate piece of email feedback. I just think it is a little disproportionate to post "Thanks!" fifty times over. I also think it may look a little weird if you engage more with some people's responses than with others; unlike with email, everyone can see who's getting more of a response, and I can see how *that* might be off-putting to a person who only gets a "Thanks!"
