Finns Mom brought up a very good point of people being hurt when nbody responds. Lately, for many reasons which don't pertain to this thread, I've been reading and not posting. I often forget who I wanted to go back and comment on -- often I forget I wanted to comment, or I thought I already commented when I didn't. I know it hurts when a lot of people looked but nobody posted. Can't win can you?
As for the I agree thing - my point was that one "I agree" is normal and even expected (sorry if it sounded like I said all "I agrees" are bad - bad me for not making that clearer). Johanna, I personally love your "ditto"but when you see time after time the same response quoted with the same "I agree" after a handful of people already agreed, its get a little overwhelming to scroll past all the people agreeing with the first person. Its understood after a while that everyone agrees with the first person! Also, it seems after a while some people agree just to feel like they fit in with the crowd. A form of online peer pressure? Instead of wearing all the clothes like the in-crowd, they're adopting the popular opinion! LOL
PS: I know I'm guilty of bad spelling --- its less spelling and me being an awful typer.Sorry, I do try to edit my posts to cut down on the typos.
