From what I can tell you can only thank an individual one time no matter how many times you agree with what they have written on different posts.
I read most of the posts by everyone, many times someone takes the time to write a thoughtful, informative post. If I hit the thanks button I often get the message that I have to thank more people, you know, play nice and tell others they did a good job. Isn't that like a participation trophy? I'm not going to thank someone just because they exist.
When someone writes a good post, they are often the same people over and over again, I think it's nice to tell them so. There are many I don't agree with and rather than "wrestle a pig" I just let it go.
Along the same lines, I could simply quote someone and give it a thumbs up or a "well said but", someone in their infinite wisdom decided that I must use some number of letters to say "atta boy"
While I'm on my soapbox. When someone wants to make a point and uses the quote. Just pick out the pertinent part to quote. Some make long make long drawn out posts and, that's ok, but the very next post someone has simply hit the quote button and the end result is that post has the last post fully written out before there is an answer. All you have to do is copy the section you want to address and paste it between the quote brackets. It makes more sense to me to break things into multiple quotes and answer each part seperately.
Rant over.
