    Sigh...I used to get such a thrill about getting "thanked". I felt validated and verified. It was such a thrill. Now,it's a sad and empty feeling,if you could call it that, when I'm thanked.:(
    Can anyone relate to this sad and sorry situation?

    I think people post stuff like this hoping to get ironic thanks

    It seems like every second day someone posts up something about thanks it getting very wearing :mad:

    The Admins should just disable the thanks button because a lot of people are getting obsessed about it
