What Does Your Post and Like Count Say About You?

Evo, I'm really sorry to hear about your pain but your comment about the dogs really cracked me up.

They're not touching it, they've come into the bedroom, they think it's a trick.

I have them largely because people sometimes find my smart-ass remarks amusing. Their "likes" and mine just aren't counting the same thing at all and I knew that would happen when Greg changed "thanks" to "like".

A "funny/I get your joke" button, in addition to a "thanks" and "like" button would be great options to have on here. Humor is important. But, I don't think the majority of your likes are because of others being amused, even meanies can be helpful. It's always nice and helpful to meet others that are passionate about science, you do have that going for you... I don't like facebook either, but I guess that experience is dependent upon a persons friends list. Some people may have awesome friends with similar interests, facebook would be appealing to me in that case.

I use the like button for many reasons, even as a 'thanks' or to let a poster see that I recognized they replied to me. Zoobyshoe noted that people could actually respond in those cases, but some people may not want to take the thread away from the OP or cause a topic change. Unless I'm upset with someone then I will at least click like to show that I got the message.
