    Default Thanks gone?

    Maybe I'm missing something, but is anyone else missing the 'Thank' on posts?
    Is this permanent?

    Thanks! I guess nowadays "like" is the new "thanks". We are yet to try "agree", however I would like to agree that thanks, like like, agrees with my understanding of thanks in that agreeing and liking like and thanks usually end in agreement.

    Maybe I'm just an old-fashioned guy who misses rotary dial telephones, car engines that a guy could work on in his back yard and good manners. It seems to me that a "thanks" is worlds away from a "like". I might see an interesting razor someone posted and give them a "like". But, I saved my thanks for a posting that made a particularly good point or expanded my knowledge in a particular area. If someone walks by in a colorful shirt I will say, "I like that shirt". If that person gives me the shirt I will say, "Thanks for giving me such a nice shirt". BRING BACK THE "THANKS".

    Regards - Walt

    They were just jealous of me & Glen so they got rid of it
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Gentlemen,

    When I was young, it seems in the XIV Century, my mama told me to always be a good boy and say, "Thank you." Of course, I said it in Assyrian and Farsi, but the meaning was the same. It was polite. It is still polite to say thank you, especially if you mean it. It's the gentleman's way. The natural and logical answer is always, "You're welcome." Nowadays the proper "You're welcome" is replaced by the weird "No problem." What next?

    Oh, now the proper "Thank you," the same one my mama taught me, is replaced by "Like." What's this? "Like" what? I'm afraid to ask my dear friends in the dazzling SRP offices high atop Park Avenue. I probably will not, for I fear they might come up with an esoteric response to "Like." If one is in the works, I wonder what it is? Let me see:

    "Like."
    "Like you back."
    "Like you back twice."
    "I said it first."

    Gentlemen, "Thank You" for reading. Oh, sorry, "Like You" for reading.

    I have heard that the response those gormless twits are planning to institute is "Like Yo Momma Like!".

    My dear gugi,
    That's what I was afraid of. Oy!
    "Like Yo Mamma Like Twice" for the explanation.
