I think you're jusding this feature by your own view and fon't see that not everybody is or acts the same as you. I've found myself on a situation where I wanted to post something but, after reading the comments, I found that someone else had already said what I wanted to say... and in a much better way than I would have done it.

Since I'm not a fan of the "+1" or "agree" comments, I usually leave that thread without posting anything. This like agree feature won't change the fact that someone else has been faster than me, but will allow me to at least click that button to, somehow, get involved in it.

At least you agree that this feature will be good or bad according to how we use it, not because the tool itself.

Now, now, there's no need to go that far. potato_hamster may be very stubborn about this, but he's not doing anything against the rules and he should be banned for that (btw, I know it's a joke, but I also know that some people won't see it as such).

Wow I was mentioned in a positive context for once. Has my reputation actually resurrected since my death? I’m pretty proud
