Paying it forward is the key to gratitude in this case, so keep it up. It's still nice to acknowledge those who have helped you.
Two weeks ago I did up my list of influential people - it came to 49 names, including some familiar HNers I've never met and some business people I've worked closely with for years. I sent them all an identical 2-3 line thank you email. I didn't see value in personalising it - it's hard to quantify or put into words. And judging by the responses I received, not enough people take the time to do that.
