All that verbage to just say "no". sigh...the more things change, the more they stay the same...and speaking of "verbage"... verbage /ver'b*j/ n. A deliberate misspelling and mispronunciation of verbiage that assimilates it to the word `garbage'. Compare content-free. More pejorative than `verbiage'. dictionary.reference.com

I hear ya....and certainly concur your emphasis on the positive and good vibes...and I did not think my suggestion ran counter to that... Guess I really shouldn't talk about this issue...In the interests of keeping things positive and with good vibes, I have not allowed the Recommend option on the thread for which I am the Moderator.....vbg

A negative energy thing Not necessarily. The ability to "dis" a post as opposed to writing a post critical of the original post is a positive energy thing. It would be particularly valuable on the joke threads where many posts are of the form "that's not funny", "that joke is a repeat", "ha ha" etc. I imagine there are equivalent issues in the political forums and some others. I respect that you have more urgent things to do, but I think you are overlooking the value of the potential feature too.
