Seemingly contradictory advice on correct forum posting there?

Different though. Honest guv. "The ENd" just meant I'd finished as opposed to my opinion is the only one that will ever count.
Although it is, obviously.

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

Ultimately it's only a forum but that doesn't mean good contributions shouldn't be acknowledged.
I wonder if the smiley face symbols or "lol" textspeak caused such controversy when forums were in their early days.

If you are so lazy and so busy that you cant even muster the energy to type "I agree" then dont f

Mate: This reccession is getting f

Everyone would just look at you as though you were some kind of spastic.
Its not a good thing.

And how would people look at you if you walked through the door of a pub and started laying down the law to all and sundry as to how conversations in that pub should be conducted?Its not a good thing.
