Other members might also be very useful, but "these members" are actually known for it.
It also shows that this member is appreciative of other members, because it includes the number of thanks they have given, in addition to the number of thanks they have received.
I'm so accustomed to this inclusion, that I was actually surprised when I first came here and saw that it wasn't included. It feels weird to not be able to "rep" someone for an especially helpful post.

I plead guilty to being stuck "somewhere", but certainly not the 70's. This forum appealed to me because of its local flavor and it was not at all like Facebook or Twitter or any such thing. Those are for the mobs.....interesting read here.....
How Twitter and Facebook are weaponizing mob mentality
GONE, it appears is individual thought or opinion. We MUST be controlled in some fashion and conform to what the MOB says.
Not me....not my style never was. I have found that MOB action, even verbally, is usually very wrong and
always misinformed. I can be stupid and wrong on my own......no need to join a group to be liked for my opinion or to change my opinion because of the mob mentality and that is where we are headed
