Plus one.

[MK4 Slowride]

Another website I also post on has it right. If you type +1 it comes up with "I am too stupid to form an opinion of my own" which I think is rather fitting.

[scotal]

Yes, I agree with that.

Hmmm, I like the formal aspect ratty, but I think its generally easier to simply type +1.
Also, if "Yes I agree with that" takes hold, will you be back in a few months time ranting that quoting and then adding Yes I agree with that is somehow wrong, probably from an originality point ofview?

Will the spelling police have a field day on people who misspell any part of Yes, I agree with that.

And if you do agree witht he Op, surely its better to register some form of agreement i.e. +1 rather than simply ignore the thread? Otherwise there will be no idea of how many posters may agree with the OP.

You're a bit out of date there. The IRA stopped him back in 1983.

Still, it's nice you got to know him well enough to use his pet name.

BSR could you just clarify if you mean 6 pages on which forum display page settings?

I'm winding my neck right out in support and I just need to know.

I see.Well done. I was predicting, as I suspect you have realised, the true potential within this great thread.
I am a little shy so far, but it is a truly great thread and I still feel confident.

truly great thread?

worthy of a few of these , but truly great.

Surely not.

Still crying about that?
DId my words actually hurt?
SO much that you had to come one and post your exams up because you think people will listen to you more?
THe irony of calling me both a "twat" and a "keyboard warrior" is quite amusing.
I know you must know what "irony" is because you have a degree.

Please keep posting.

I am sure you are right but mere logic will not stop my quest.
I nearly drowned in my own "fury st" when I first encountered the use of smilies.

The sheer bitterness of BSR's responses.

Well illogical quests are the best sort.

So should be replaced by

"Ha ha, that made me smile"?

Do the letter ROFL set you off as well?

If this idea is adopted I forecast multiple RSI cases on here simply from the required amount of typing.

[Bushmaster]

I have never 'plus oned' and agree with BSR's point.

It is text-speak.

I find a heartfelt 'bravo there' or supportive 'hear hear' is much more in keeping.

Just because I don't post my lifehood achievements after each post because I somehow think it makes me better than others, it doesn't mean I don't have them.
On the contrary. You see, I have plenty of other achievements besides my qualifications, unlike you. SO it would be a bit strange to pick and choose all the things boastworthy to irrelevantly type after everything I do.

But seriously Chunky, you are so proud of being one of the very few memebers of our society with a degree and righly so.
Keep telling people. They will admire you so much.
I do.

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.

Can i add a view point here, it is only my opinion and i fully accept we may all have differing opinions but....

....CAN YOU GO STICK YOUR HEAD IN A COMBINE HARVESTER, DO US ALL A FAVOUR AND SAVE US FROM YOUR PETTY PEDANTIC WORTHLESS UTTER bks... ITS ONLY A FECKIN POST, GET OVER IT... AND WHO GIVES A FECK WHAT YOU THINK TO BE ACCEPTABLE, YOU'RE NOT MY DAD !!

NO, Ive warmed to those now.
was my most hated one of all. It ingited incandescant rage within me, and now I love it like my own family.
Never said I wasnt fickle. Just angry.

[/footnote]

I totally agree.

"+1" in itself is meaningless. There must be a l-value to add the 1 to.

The correct form should be:

//Either
post = post + 1;

//Or...
post += 1;

//Or...
post++;

//Not:
+1 //Syntax error. +1 must have an l-value.

Did the machine remove the capitals from your use of the word bks? Clever that, but it does somehow take something from your post. As if you're shouting, but you've dropped your voice over the word bks so as not to embarass yourself.
