Thanks A Lot
I find it damn near impossible to say those words without a sarcastic undertone. Even when I genuinely mean it. No matter how cheery or appreciative I try to make it, there is always something that makes me leave wondering if the receiver took it as 'Thanks for nothing'. That is why I tend to revert to the 'Thank you very much' if I want to convey appreciation greater than just a simple thanks.
So, for the record, if we ever happen to cross paths in the future and I say 'Thanks a lot' I do truly mean it. Unless of course you were actually being a jerk then it was sarcasm and I meant "Thanks for nothing...jerk".

I only agree with your posting if you use "thank a lot" by itself. If you add on to it, it can sound very appreciative. For example, "Thanks a lot for lending me your *such and such*".
