    Could you all stop posting for a moment, I'm having trouble keeping up with creating new columns in my notepad.

    Anyone got any codes for Viking? Need to order a couple of new folders and a filing cabinet.

    Instead of logging who thanks which posts wouldn't it be easier to instead to record who is horrid to you on any given day?

    Actually, you might still need that filing cabinet.

    I think you're probably correct, but certainly when you start counting the number of 'thanks' you receive and especially counting the number of 'thanks' your adversaries/enemies receive then it's time to spend a bit more time in the real world.

    I'm not sure why you persist in this charactarisation, particularly as you've appear to have been corrected.

    TBH all a bit of a storm in a tea cup.
    Histrionic attacks from a handful of posters using this an opportunity to put the boot it.

    Can't see any problem commenting on thanks myself.
    They clearly indicate that posters are in agreement with the comment made, and this demonstrated agreement may well be relevant on ongoing discussions.

    Just viewing people as 'enemies' to be 'conquered' is probably enough of an excuse to take a break. Eh, Dervprof?

    Yet again, you appear to be saying one things whilst doing quite another.

    Yes but I think he's spoken for. If you're on here looking for a mate then you'll need to be a bit more forthcoming.

    Oh goodness no.....I like being in control of the remote control :rotfl:
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

    Well I disagree and I've just thanked your post therefore your theory is incorrect.

    For example, someone in the nice person's thread might post a recipe for a broccoli soup which they say is lovely. If you do that in the nice person's thread 300* people are likely to thank the post. However, when I make the broccoli soup I find that the soup tastes like s**t. I'm don't remove my thanks because I glad that people make the effort to try and do nice things for other people.

    * at least

    Brilliant.
    Will we be getting an apology?
    :rotfl:

    I've just thanked him too. Now he's twice as wrong as he was.

    Grahams got a bit of a track record of putting too much (any) value on "thanks". They should just remove them from this board.

    Great point, I thanked it. :)

    But one problem, what would rewired do?

    That was a review? No? Surely not.
    I demand a "star rating" or the like from a review. I dont mind if it's out of 5 or 10 though.

    No,

    They are to be used to give insecure posters a mental breakdown.

    What better way to make people worry about things on a forum.


    Did you thank that because..
    • You like me
    • You hate me
    • Agree
    • Don't agree, but are sarcastic.
    • Thought it was a good point.
    • Thought it was a bad point but they hate the person it was against.
    • Funny,
    • Not Funny but sympatheic.

    The list is endless.

    Now if you don't mind I am going to log off in a huff and worry about why no one thanked my last two posts but GD go thanked for needing a filing cabinet. :)
