Is it good syntax to thank the reviewer for every comment in peer review? I received a template from a senior student where every response to the reviewer's question begins with thanking the reviewer. For instance, 


  Question 1: Please resize Figure 4.
  
  
    The authors thank reviewer #4 for the suggestion. We....
  
  
  Question 2: Why was this test performed?
  
  
    The authors thank reviewer #4 for the insightful question. We....
  


It seems a bit odd to thank the reviewer for each and every question. Then again, this seems to be a popular format for the journal. 
I have already prepared a response file in this pattern, but just before uploading it I had second thoughts. Should I go in and remove the thanks from every question, or is this a common / expected pattern?  

EDIT: This is meant to go to an IEEE journal for Remote Sensing.
I'm in the social and health sciences, so etiquette in your discipline may differ (though I doubt it). 

I have never done this. Generally, I thank the editors and reviewers for their time and effort in the body of the response letter, but I stick to business in the individual comments. There may be a really exceptional comment by a reviewer that I may thank them for (suggesting a specific citation I didn't think of or identifying an oversight, where addressing it may improve the manuscript immensely). So, basically my individual responses look more like "As suggested by reviewer #1, we have added additional literature about topic x in the introduction...We have revised figure 2 so that it more clearly displays the findings."

Hope that helps!
