    I'm surprised :jawdrop: you have been allowed to add that icon to a post. I'm waiting for the hammer to fall. Watch out, the old man must be ZZZZZzzzzzzz.

    Hey, he started it (by putting an animated GIF icon on my account). He's well aware. :)

    (I am planning on redoing it once I get my Photoshop machine back on its feet. Jokes are fine, but I don't set out to sow actual confusion here. At least, not for long.)

    I have nothing to worry about. The likelihood of Doug ever giving me a “like” is somewhat lower than hell freezing over.

    That's like saying a rose isn't a rose because it isn't a color you think it should be, or look the way you think it should look !

    Put another way, a like (a compliment) is still a like (a compliment) no matter what form it comes in !

    And as I've tried to explain, it means a whole lot more when someone takes the time and effort to actually write out and post for all to see - I like it ! - than it could ever mean by clicking on some silly button that requires almost no effort at all !

    Ya see Mike, just like what you believe, there's something I believe too. I believe that if everybody had to actually write out and post that they like something, there'd be one heck of a lot fewer likes ever given out ! In other words, if all they gotta do is click a silly button that only takes a fraction of second to do - yeah they'll do that. But they aren't willing to spend the time and effort to do it the hard way - the way that means you care enough to do it the hard way !

    Another forum I belong to does not have the "like" button for that exact reason. The forum Dad would rather people post than just click a button.

    But then you'd get lots of "Great Post" or "I agree, well said" posts that would clutter up the threads.

    The LIKE button is is indispensable, IMO. I think thread size would increase 50-100% if folks posted 1-liners instead.

    CT would be much less useful IMO. Less wading through irrelevant posts.
