    Just wondering aloud, anyone noticed the mutual admiration societies that seem to exist in some threads/forums, where two people constantly thank each others posts?

    I'm not going to name names (yet) more research, searching and correlation to be done but anyone have thoughts on it

    Obviously relationships will develop from boards! But thanking someones post doesn't make out you're having an affair with them!

    I thank lots of posts, if I agree with the poster I'll thank it!

    Im not having an affair with anyone

    :confused:

    It might be two people who have the same opinion. I thank posts that I agree with or if I find them funny or witty.

    I even thank posts that I don't agree with if they make me rethink my own viewpoint.
