    I don't believe a word of it! I propose a one week ban for everyone in that thread with a greater than 1:1 posts to thanks ratio!

    (Tongue is firmly in cheek ladies :) )

    Good lord, can you imagine it? A 1 week ban. When we all got back online again, we'd crash the internet posting our UU, Ins, Outs, WIBA's etc.
    That thread is like therapy for some of us :D

    I was going to leave this and not bother posting but I would like to thank OP for starting this thread.
    Why? Because it shows the differences between people. "If you see someone walking down the road without a smile, give them yours". Someone on here has this as their signature and I think it's lovely. It doesn't cost you anything and it doesn't harm anyone so really why do you have a problem?
    I use the thanks on this thread as a marker of how far I've got too but if there was a separate marker button, I would still thank people.
    This is the only thread I go on which I thank every post but that's because it moves the fastest.

    I think you'd have to chop my hands off. I suppose that would be helpful re: handcream usage!

    tongue in my cheek too :rotfl:
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

  • Throughout most of the site I only log on because of the Thanks button. I don't always have a lot to say, but I read posts I want to thank all the time.

    The very highest thanks counts such as Lakshmi7's are not trivial - they are given in the competitions board where some users post lots of valuable competitions after spending time and effort looking for them etc. (no, I'm not one of them).
    :eek::eek:93000 posts?That's good going! Never seen those ribbons before.

    For many people its merely a marker in a long thread as to which post they have reached :)


    thats why i thank alot of threads ... not all are wonderful posts ... but if i am following a diary for eg then it saves me trawling through it all again to get to where i was so i can continue ... i dont get on every day sometimes weeks go by before i catch up ... the thanks button is like a book mark ... well for me anyway
