Revisiting the cursive debate...

I don't think I'm a cursive snob but something that happened today has me wondering.  I received a thank you note from the walk in clinic I went to last Thursday after my granddog accidentally clawed me.  That, in itself, is pretty noteworthy I think. I certainly wasn't expecting a thank you note.  I'm not sure about the proper etiquette but it seems to me that perhaps I should have sent a note. You know "Thanks for the painless tetanus shot and the great taping job." or something like that. The note I did receive was brief and polite and signed by the two people who worked with me. However it was hand printed (no cursive here) perfectly legible, but it looked like a third grader printed it with uneven lines and a random mixture of upper case and lower case letters.  I can't help feeling that, in this situation, if writing the note in cursive was not an option, it would have looked much more professional to type the note, or just send me an email if they were afraid I couldn't read cursive.  But, once again, no one asked for my opinion. Go figure.
