The section info/members/"most likes" is quite interesting. In addition, @mfb is quickly approaching a milestone of 5000 "likes". Congratulations to him! I also find it quite interesting watching the top 20 on this page, all of whom have put in much time and effort on the Physics Forums. Keep up the good work ! :) :)

I feel like I should be jealous that @phinds has more "likes" than I do. But then I realized that everyone likes a puppy dog.

It's really just an unfair advantage. I can't even compete. I mean, have you seen my face?!

You could try barking and slobbering all over the mentor forums?

No! We just only recently trained him against that! It was a horrible few years! Poor Evo, mopping up all of Draks slobber.

I blame everyone but myself!

Indeed. Let's just say that there's a very good reason I wear a helmet.

@Drakkith says he can't compete, but with the couple of "likes" he just picked up, he has now moved into a tie for 10th place with @Orodruin at 2384 "likes". :) :)

Excellent... all my plans are going according to... plan.

@OCR Perhaps a more positive song by John Prine (in reference to the "link" you provided) is "Hello in There" or "In Spite of Ourselves". His guitar playing is good in the song, but his songs "Sam Stone", "Angel from Montgomery", and "Dear Abby" are much more inspiring than the song in the "link". Anyway, I enjoy the "likes" page and I am glad the Physics Forums keeps this statistic.

And one of the reasons the "likes" statistic is important is that although some of the "likes" come easy=that is a given...Some of the "likes" follow after an hour of effort or more in solving a question that is posted. In many cases, the questions that are posted are somewhat unique, and are something that isn't found by a simple google or even looking in the proper textbook. Again I am glad for the statistic=it isn't necessarily a perfect indicator, but it is an indicator of the effort the member has put forth in responding to the various posts.

Please accept my apology, Charles... my post was only meant as a joke.

I always took Prine's song as being a bit of self-deprecating humor...
Pretending that one doesn't want something, because one does not or cannot have it, also known as being a "Sour Grapes Mary".
From the old Aesop's fable... The Fox and the Grapes.

That's all I was doing... trying to make a joke, at my expense.

However, as Aufbauwerk 2045 once pointed out...
Usually, if a joke needs an explanation... it didn't work very well, I guess.

I really do need to follow my own advice.... :redface:

Just thought I'd mention: Seeing a like on a reply from the member whom I'm replying to is the indicator it has been seen by that member; especially when no further comment is expected or needed.

Just for the record, I hate mfb.
He appears to have hogged a disproportionate amount of the Earth's limited supply of operational brain cells.
Just my humble opinion.

@mfb You can decrease the current 1,627 @OmCheeto "likes" can't you?

I think there is no reason to reduce his 1300 likes.

In the "most likes", there presently is a very close grouping of about 6 people from 8th place to 13th, and @Drakkith is now just one "like" behind @phinds . @Drakkith has moved up from about a week or two ago... :) :)

It's only because of my boyish good looks.
