    I'm not secretly chuffed OP. I go around quoting myself when it gets thanked. Usually send a copy to some of me extended family and friends. Sometimes I screenshot it and frame it on my wall.

    Real answer: meh, we all respond well to people praising us so I'd say it's no secret everyone enjoys being thanked.

    Secretly? No. I shout it from roof tops and walk with a skip in my step- it's evident for all who care to see that I am positively delighted with myself.

    My posts dont get "liked" cos I'm not on that sh1t site anymore.

    They do get thanked occasionally though, and I'm openly happy about that, not secretly.

    8 positive votes from a total of 12 doesn't really say there's a large agreement there though. I could make one now saying Beure and get my 9 closest friends to upvote it sure.


    If I had 9 friends...

    I had this one post that was liked by like 60 people or more, and I was just so happy. I'd say it was the single best thing that happened to me that entire year. Funny thing was, it wasnt even a post I'd put much thought into. Like sometimes, you really think about a post, and then you think "this one's gonna be a winner".....and then it just tanks....not one person likes it. But this one, I didnt even think about it, and then I was checking my thank count a few hours later and it had jumped by 20 thanks......Could. Not. Believe. It.

    I never said it before, but Thanks to everyone who thanked me that time.

    It depends on who the thanker is. There are so many terrible posts thanked that it devalues the thanks somewhat. And then there are the posters who strike one as so thick or irritating that it makes one cringe to receive a thanks from them.

    Not a lot of new users know this, but there's a secret forum where there's a black market trade in thanks. There's about 100 regulars and they just repeatedly thank each others posts in exchange for "cyberfavours". Strange place.

    I'd rather none of my posts were thanked, it means people think they same way I do, and that, my friends, is a very scary thought indeed.

    I check my "thanks" the odd time, mainly because I generally always forget what I say on here (in about two minutes, I'll have forgotten that I made this post), so it's a nice reminder. However half the time I cannot understand why some were; there's a lot of weird people out there.

    'Delighted' is a bit of a stretch to be honest. I'd much rather the kind where people thank in agreement with a point of view. I'll still thank a genuinely funny post, but make a point of thanking a post that someone has put a lot of effort into.

    By the way, is your keyboard missing some keys? ;)

    I never check back on anything I post. I rarely ever check back to see if anyone even replied to it. Let alone check for likes. Often it's days later again I remember and the thread has been buried too much to reply. The fantasy soccer one is probably the exception.
