Dave
You have a very good ranking (20). I also might add you never like anything.
That's not being mean David just meaning you are a very good contributor to the forum with no funny little hearts. That is neither bad or good . It's just our individual positive efforts to the forum.
IMO, Alan is a very intelligent individual. When he makes this statement, It makes sense to me. I didn't say I like it, I said it makes sense.
"Bottom line, a lot of folks enjoy being complimented (liked) and being "ranked" high as a member of a forum and will respond with more participation when they feel good about the community in which they are a member. The "system" has found a way to do that whether we "like" it or not!"
Wow , we sure are having fun with this topic Marty.
