The "I agree" thing drives me nuts! I've seen threads where one person said something and 10 others came and quoted it saying "I agree" - which in itself is just fine, if you say "Sue couldn't have said it better...." and then expounded on why you think she said it so well.

But often it seems like there are little drones that quote and simply say "I agree" to the quote. Don't they have a thought all their own? After 10 "I agree"s you'd think the point was made that the original poster had a good thought; there would be no need to quote the same quote an 11th time.... but people do and it would seem the only reason to quote the same thought again is to raise your own post count.

Are people trying to kiss up to the person they quoted? Because I notice they often quote the same person time and time again. Trust me, quoting someone's post isn't going to give you brownie points - quite conversely its going to annoy people. If you want the respect of certain individuals here, especially if they are strong pillars of this community, that respect will come from posting honest and true replies that actually contain some content and thought.

Now, anyone who wishes to quote my insightful reply may do so
