I can't pinpoint the exact the origins of this perniciously infectious means of agreeing with someone else's post and - as you know - I'm not one to wilfully put my head above the parapet, but I'd just like to suggest that it carries with it all the style of catching sight of your uncle dancing at a wedding (with a tie on his head) just at the moment that he raises his eyebrows as far up as they go, puts two thumbs up (at 45 degree angles) and says 'skill' with a gormless expression on his face.

Please make it stop. You know who you are.

[SeanMacGabhann]

you know when you are in the middle of doing something and you already know you shouldn't.... That (what ... said) is just one of dozens of bad habits I have acquired. Ditto smiley usage

Please give this some careful thought

I think it's my fault on this forum, not claiming to have invented it. It's quick and easy, and I have the skills.

[Jah Lush]

Yeah! It's all your fault Keef.

Thanks for owning-up Keef. What Keef Said.

Oh.. and..

I think you'll find* that I identified 'The Keef Convention: saying "What X said" in agreement to a previous post' in my very brilliant but under-responded-to thread Conventions of the EDF in About This Forum.

So ner, it's official, and I'm going to keep doing it. And just look at these super-spiffing persons all upping their thumbs, what a marvellously positive and cheering activity it is! Many of them seem as though they could be uncles, and hurrah for them.

*Isn't 'I think you'll find' an incredibly aggressive and unpleasant way to say a perfectly ordinary thing? It should never be used by persons of taste.
