If someone says something that you agree with, there are one or two logical options as follows:

1)Quote them and say- yes, I agree with that
2)THink to yourself "I agree with that. Ive nothing more to add so I won't bother posting"

EIther are equally acceptable. Either express your agreement to verify thier opinion or don't.

WHat is not acceptable, and is in fact downright moronic is to quote them and type "+1"

It is a fking ludicrous thing to do. Totally meaningless. YOu cannot add a number to words. Maths doesnt work like that.

Can you people who do this just learn something from this thread:

JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE ON PISTONHEADS HAS DONE SOMETHING- IT DOESNT MEAN YOU HAVE TO DO IT TOO.

Let alone doing it at every opportunity every hour of every day.
Stop it at once.

I repeat: You cannot add a number to a word. It is totally nonsensical.

The End.


Edit: ANyone who types "+1" as a response to this thread is as unfunny as the people who do it for real. TOo predictable. 0/10 for originality.

I add "+1" to statements because it's a quick and widely acknowledged way of showing my support for the poster's opinion.

Quite frankly I think if anyone is being pedantic and moronic it is you.

Does the poster send you an email of thanks for your support?

I dont care what you think because you think it is clever to type "+1".
If you are so lazy and so busy that you cant even muster the energy to type "I agree" then dont fking bother. Just revert to option 2.
