My mother realized this long ago. Now we communicate mostly through Twitter.
My first impression was that this is just sad but I guess that different people (and cultures) have different expectations when it comes to communication.
With that said, the author is living inside a bubble created by his environment and his expectations. Saying that everyone should conform to his way of communicating is rude. Saying "thank you" to someone (through whatever communication channel you find most appropriate) is generally not rude.
