I wish there was a way to like a post on the forum to say that I agree with that person's post and I think it is importan. This would be really handy for the Band in a Box whislist section.

Doesn't a simple +1 do just that?

Or are you asking for a like button that keeps a running tab of the number of likes? If this is what you are asking for then +1.

Completely agree. No interest in Facebook like features. Social media and many forums are way too transient. I was a mod on a board that added a like feature and it killed conversation. The User Showcase would collapse.

FWIW, etc., ole guy two cents worth smile

I've modified my initial post to more accurately reflect the intent of my reply. Obviously I don't do sarcasm well.

I tend to agree with Charlie and Bud on this. I like discussion, even on topics that some consider to be dangerous territory.

This forum is way better than most at drawing users into the conversation... maybe because there are no built-in shortcuts (like a thumbs up or a like button) to let the respondent off the hook for offering a more substantial reply.

But in addition to its value, every coin has two sides. The other side of this coin is the long term effect of hearing everybody's opinions on every topic. Eventually conversation becomes as predictable as dinner banter in a stale marriage. You know what everybody is going to say before they say it.

But you already knew I was going to say that, so I'll stop there.

;-)

--- It's worth noting that in discussion forums, people who are good with the written word tend to dominate.
--- Not everybody has that skill. Even among those who are good with words, not everybody feels comfortable
--- expressing their thoughts in public. Yet I think its fair to say that most people in a forum feel a sense
--- of membership in the tribe, and they want to contribute in whatever way is most comfortable to them.

--- The easy agreement options (like buttons, thumbs up, emoji etc) have become the de facto way for quiet people
--- to fit in by agreeing with comments made by others.

--- They also keep busy forums from being flooded with multiple posts saying almost the same thing. So I see
--- value in both points of view.

Reasonable comments, Pat. Some forums are like that, but fortunately people are more sensible and moderate on this forum. As Donny says, people leave their egos at the door. It's a good thing, and makes this forum stand out. Regardless, your points are valid. Some folk prefer brevity.
