I was surprised to find those who have made literally thousands of posts and been "thanked" thousands of times, but have never (0) thanked anyone ever for a their comment, helpful tip, or post. Could that really be accurate ? Just seemed a bit hard to believe that people on here that many times have never found anything helpful or worth a "thanks" ?? Have no idea, just struck me as very curious was all ! I thought....LOL... are these actually "bots", LOL, so they don't "thank" others, like human beings...LOL ! ? In all seriousness, just seemed strange and never noticed in all the years since they first started this over at Crisper's on Fridays ! BTW, I miss Crisper's...but apparently I'm in the minority for sure...LOL !

Yes, you are correct. Some people simply never hit the like button. I “like” posts that I find thoughtful, interesting, or helpful. That doesn’t usually include one sentence responses. I don’t “like” posts just because I agree. I like posts by, say, the guys who know how to fix things and explain how to do it. I like posts by people who recommend excellent businesses or people.
If I write something here, usually I think about it and try to write something worth reading, helpful, substantial. (Note: if you respond EARLY, the day before something reaches the e-mail version, it will be seen by more people and perhaps get liked more. But I never get around to doing that.) I’ve noticed that I may spend a half hour writing a useful response with links and photos, yet no one likes it. But if I write something in line with one of our many local prejudices or peeves, I might get several likes. Ten likes on one post? Never on mine, so far as I can remember.
