Thanked X times in X posts
I was curious about the "thanked X times in X posts" feature and thanked a couple of posters, then realized the following message appears in the thread:
The Following User Says Thank You to Nirbo For This Useful Post: johnlvs2run (Yesterday) Yikes! I'd rather not this be divulged who I'm thanking or not thanking. Otherwise it puts the "thanks" rather on display and is also a bit big brotherish. I'm hesitant about thanking anyone else, only because I'd rather this not show up in a thread. Is it possible to change the thanks to not show up who is thanking whom and to not show up in the thread? Also why not just show "thanked X times" rather than "X times in X posts". Comments welcome. P.S. Feel free to thank me for this message. |

I think he wants to thank people anonymously.
I can see the point of this. Suppose I don't know something very very basic, for example, how to change my shell. Now, ephemera answers a newcomer who asks that question. I'd like to thank him as well, however, I'm embarrassed to admit that I don't know how to change my shell--or didn't, till ephemera's post. (I'm using ephemera because he's the last that posted in this thread.) So, I could see the value of anonymous thanks. Of course, yes, you can send the person a PM too. Gee, maybe I should thank ephemera for that idea--naw, I'm an ungrateful wretch. EDIT: Heh, I hadn't realized I've been thanked for stuff--have I posted something useful since these forums opened? |

I think you have been thanked for your brevity.
