[QUOTE=Vetch] As an answer to a post. What’s it all about then? [QUOTE=IvoryTowerDenizen] That the responder is in emphatic agreement with what he or she has just quoted or posted directly below. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Q.E.D.] And is also unpardonably lazy. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=ultrafilter] This. Word. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Marley23] “I agree completely with everything in this post, which I will indicate by quoting all 12 paragraphs of it and adding only a single word of my own, offering no further opinion.” [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Hockey Monkey] Guilty. But only when the poster has covered everything I was going to say and I couldn’t say it better if I tried. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Q.E.D.] Then why not say that? Put some effort into your agreement, ferchrissakes! [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Vetch] OK, got it for “This” but what about “Word”? [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=IvoryTowerDenizen] Same-- as in “The Word”- or, to put in another way, what was just posted is “truth”. Or, another interpretation is that what was said should be requoted word-for-word. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Q.E.D.] Shit, boy, that predates the internet by several years. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Tenebras] Several thousand, in the Judeo-Christian mythology. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Heffalump and Roo] [QUOTE=Hockey Monkey] I did! I posted! Whadda ya want? A dog and pony show? Tap dancing? Jazz hands? [/QUOTE] Yes please. All three. With graphic demonstrations. At least that much effort in every post.
