I agree with Lara and DiMarie- I don't particularly like it either, but realize that others may like it and that's OK. I hope no offense is taken by my saying that! I'm like Lara, I appreciate alot that people on here do and I'm not gushy either but try to thank people openly or by PM if I appreciate something they've done- as she said, that doesn't mean that if I don't say it that I don't mean it- does that make sense? The first thought I had when I saw it was that since there are some people on forums who tend to feel like it's a contest to see how many posts they can get under their name, and some who equate a larger number posts as meaning that this person must REALLY be an authority on the subject- so, I'm wondering if some would consider these "thank yous" in the same way- as in, somebody with LOTS of thank yous must be a "saint" and someone with few or none must be unsupportive or rude....I just think it seems to be another way for those who these kinds of things are important to "keep score". I think we all deal enough as it is with people who "thank each other to death" and we might have some severe injuries on here with some patting themselves and each other on the back. I'm with Di- is there a way to opt out of this? Or, could the thank you button be left- for a quick thank you and nothing more- but no count listed under our names? Just my opinion....
