Thanks ?

OK, i profess ignorance. I've forgotten a few things.....and if i'm wrong, please correct me.

But what is it with this "Thanks" thing in the posts that I'm seeing ?

Can't people just type "thanks" ? Or is that too sincere ?

I see newbies here ( newer than me ) who have thanked more than posted ?

Isn't there a suitable "kissie kissie" smilie ? Or is this just a junior high school clique building tool ? Some of it looks pretty childish, but maybe i'm not reading it right or understanding it. What am i missing ?

Is this the new biker tool of toughness to make snowflakes blend into snowballs and feel cozy with each other ? I don't want to sound like i have a problem with people with alternative gender preferences. Far from it. It's not that at all. It just seems odd and i don't know what i'm missing.

Already suggested to delete the "Thanks" and replace with "Agree" to no avail.

Don't know what you're thanking for, but you do/don't agree.

Use to go with the "+1" thing, but that has gone the way of the DoDo bird.

If there's gonna be a "Thanks" button, there should be a "I disagree" button too.

Or maybe a "This guy's a Dumbass" button..

Or how about a "You suck" button?

It's all part of the kinder, gentler, HDF!
