Part of it for me is that sometimes I can't respond right away to something I've read because I'm gobsmacked...and writing while gobsmacked can be a bad thing. That thanks option when I figured out where it was and how to use it saved me from having to write "Thanks for that, I'm going to reply, but I'm gobsmacked right now and if I did reply it would sound rather bad."

And I bet Pris has a great gobsmacked picture of a kitten.

However Thanks provides a means for stalkers & others to track people as well. And it being removable is creepy as a provocateur can Thank then remove it after tracking the behavior of others.

Thanks can also tip you off regarding how long a person has been posting or lurking.

But like I said, they are convenient shorthand that makes communication easier via phone for those lacking normal computer terminal.

Thanks for this thread lol.
But where's the Undecided and Don't Care options for our rebels, nuggets, hippies and flesh puppets?

Yaay, stalkers and trackers. Good point. Still, they'll do it with or without thumbs. You want to avoid crap, don't post on forums. Don't post at all. Better yet, don't go on the internet. Don't have a computer... Don't use a cell phone (I don't, at least that's one down)...

As for an Undecided and a Don't Care button, that's complicated. Not sure that's necessary... If you are really undecided and/or don't care enough, you can always post a quick comment and/or smiley. Example: Example:
