Like you, I have helped people out either by giving advice or scanning things and sending pdf files. The rate of thank you's is about 50%, ways of the modern world I'm afraid. Might I say some of the offenders were not new forumites either.
Best way to approach that, as said before, is to expect nothing, anything else is a bonus.
I consider helping others as a small pay back for all the advice and help I have received from the forum, without all these willing people the forum would not be what it is today.
