    Heh, you only need to look at the ratio between certain people's post count and thanks count to see that something fishy is going on...

    maybe they're all just really nice and thank anyone who posts?! kinda sweet really.

    no big problem... there's no prize for thanks!

    some people thank posts as they go so that they can come back and easily see where they left off..... either way, makes no odds to me.

    I too have noticed that in some threads (I shan't mention which ones) almost every single post has between 20 to 30 thanks, despite the fact that few of the posts consist of nothing more than well 'chat'. I have no doubt that the simple explanation is that there are little 'gangs' who are going around thanking each others posts on a quid pro quo basis. Can't say it actually bothers me though. It's not as if it really matters after all. If there are people out there (and I believe there are) who feel some kind of sense of achievement because they have a high 'thanks ratio' or whatever, and so game the system to achieve that objective, well, SFW. It's a fairly innocuous pastime.

    I would like to point out that my thanking of each of the posts above me is because I agree with each comment ... I don't really get the sickly sweet 'let's all thank anyone that says 'lol' or (((hugs)))' either ... ;)
    Gone ... or have I?

    I don't think there's anything sinister going on. It's just a particularly supportive thread as people are trying not to spend any (more) money on toiletries. There's one each month (you've selected the March one).

    Biting is excellent. It's like kissing, only there's a winner.

    In that case I will thank you to give you support in your turbulent time!
