"Thanks for the insight"- issue with understanding
Hey,
Does the sentence "thanks for the insight" has always an ironical meaning? The context is: emails among ciber friends about favourites movies- i am explaining sth that I found interesting about a movie, person B answers with enthusiasm regarding the movie mentioned and ends the email saying "thanks for the insight"- not sure if it's ironical closure of the emails exchange? Basically don't know if I should answer to that or she is saying me with "thanks for the insight"= "don't write".
She's native I'm not.

Since she answered with enthusiasm, there is unlikely to be any irony involved. The expression 'thanks for the insight' is not ironic in nature. Almost anything can be said ironically.
