Judy, I don't think anyone *needs* a thumbs up reply. I express appreciation
as I feel it and often have nothing further to say. As for being selective, I'm
exactly the right amount of selective for me, and you're the right amount of
selective for you.
Share, just make sure you don't "overpost", O.K.? After all, earlier, you
attributed your many posts, of which a great many reflect your selective choice
in expressing appreciation, to "missing living with your mother?"
"Richard, I'll stand in the overposting corner with you. I guess I missed
living with my Mom more than I realized after spending Thanksgiving, etc. with
her. Go figure (-:
As I've said before, I like the buffet that is FFL, both in terms of content
and style and amount of participation. I wish Xeno posted more. But I'm also
glad that he has his own unique voice, that there is only one of him, just as
I'm glad there's only one of me and you and noozguru and John, etc.

A few "thumbs-up" posts aren't a problem. It's when someone seems to feel
that a large percentage of the posts need a "thumbs-up," without adding much
else, that it begins to become tiresome. Folks need to be at least somewhat
selective.
In any case, while I don't want to go back to posting limits, the current
situation, in which one particular poster has gone completely out of control,
really is disruptive and unpleasant, especially when so many of his posts are
meaningless trolls. That does not qualify as "natural," IMHO.

<< This worrying about the amount of posts an individual sends in a week
bemuses me. There are many conversations on FFL when you just want to give a
thumbs up to show you appreciated a particular comment. It's like saying
"Absolutely!" or "Well said!" in a real-life conversation. With post limits in
place everyone will keep their powder dry for a lengthy dissertation in
response to someone's comment. Let's keep it natural. >>
