I don't care for the LIKE buttons

I make heavy use of the "recent topics" feature and the like button will make that feature even better, assuming folks actually use it instead of plus one-ing ^^^ etc.

Gee, I'm sorry I brought this up.  I didn't know it was such a burden for folks to scan through the recent posts.  I must have too much time on my hands what with the never-ending winds and such...

(I'm giving you a friendly hard time, Doug. Please don't kill me!)

This wind could stop any time now, thanks. 

It isn't going to.  It's supposed to get worse b/c inland heat, pressure gradient, etc.  Gale warnings going up for most zones south of Port Orford through the weekend.

(It's been windy like this all year.  Sheesh!)

Agree with Tinker

If you're putting in a like button, how about adding a turd emoji button for someone writing bs. 

LIKE!

See?  Short and sweet.  No button needed. 

Seriously, are we a bunch of folks seeking "likes" like a bunch of Facebookers?  Do we need a bit of positive personal reinforcement so we can sleep at night?  Will we win prizes for the most likes, or are we going to get advertising deals if we garner a million likes?  What other use is there for a pile of anonymous LIKES?

Brian can keep them if everyone wants them.  I think they're silly.
