I guess this is where you lose me, why does something bear repeating when it's right there a couple of posts up?

So when you're talking to someone and they say something you agree with you just sit there looking at them w/o saying anything?

There's a difference between a discussion in a public thread and a private conversation.

So when you're standing around in a group and you agree with something someone says, you pull them off to the side and whisper to them that you agree with them?

Well you can certainly form your opinion the way you wish. The fact is however that certain posters are more respected because they kill the games they play in. I would rather they weight in by quoting a post they agree with then keeping silent. The sending PM's idea would be a huge annoyance. That's never going to happen.

I would rather understand why doing this instead of something else is better then just have someone I respect tell me 'this is best'. Sort of teach a man to fish vs. give him a fish .. however that saying went again.

Why exactly does this bother you so much? Why is it a problem for you?

It doesn't and it's not. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

If someone expresses something well, why reword it just to say the same thing worse? Quoting something is just a way of expressing support.

I like to make up my mind about something by reading the arguments for and against it, not by how many people are for or against it. It's great to say you apricaiate someone's post, but why not send a PM to that person then.
