I hate _hate_ **HATE** when someone hits “Quote” on a post and follows it with “This.”. What lazy bullshit. If you agree with a post, how goddam hard is to actually key in a few words describing your agreement and expanding on it? But no, somehow, even on this board (which I feel should be above this kind of lethargic and useless posting), some genius has to chime in with “this” and feel as if they’ve made a contribution to the thread. Y’all just stop it now. It pisses me off. And of course, kudos to the first hiLARious poster that comes along and does exactly what I’m bitching about. Oho, my sides, they hurt from the laughter. ---

Double hate if they quote five paragraphs only to add their four letters of uninspired agreement. What a bunch of tools. ---
