I disagree. Sometimes everything that needs to be stated, has already been said. Just saying.

That was the point of someone's post a few pages back. It still doesn't add to the conversation. Not saying that their shouldn't be just agreement, but to come to a thread and find that all the posts are: "I agree to this", "***", "I'm with this", etc. It's great that one agrees to someone's post, but why?? I agree with alot of these posts on this thread, because I frankly understand what they mean about the *** routine and how little it contributes to a thread. Not saying one needs to type up an essay every time one posts, but I think a little thought into it would be great.

I agree with your statement, but I disagree to the mentality that a bunch of ***'s add to the thread.

Nick: This thread long ago left that subject, and Mother Earth, far behind. It now seems to have something to do with devising strange, but innovative methods for accumulating +1s for a mythical kilt. I don't know how that could have happened. I suspect that most readers ignored/abandoned it after post #2. In that alone there is hope for mankind.

Honestly, does all this *** business really matter? Hahaha!

I got a kick out of CMcG's comment in post #22 of "Picture threads. Where do we stand." in which he writes ...

'When someone is sharing and not asking for comments/criticism though, it would be nice to have a "like" feature so I can show my appreciation.'

To me that's what *** is all about.

Yeah, that's basically what *** is about. The advantage of a "like" feature is that it doesn't add unnecessary and unproductive posts, while still allowing people to show their support or appreciation

I believe it has come about in large part due to Facebook's "Like" button in which you can "Like" a post without actually having to take the time to comment on the post. It is a way to show support for the post, but at the expense of any sort of interaction with the original poster. Just my 2 pence worth.
