I know before I ask that I am being unreasonable about what I am going to say. I don’t know why, but it makes my blood boil when posters start their reply to a post with ‘this.’ Why on earth do you do it? We all have enough of a brain to know that your answer agrees and/or relates to the post it is answering. It just seems a stupid and pointless thing to do. Why not just say ‘I agree’ if you really think it’s necessary?
Sorry, Crossstitchfan, just seen your last reply. Sorry if I’ve come across as rude, certainly not intended. I really should read the whole thread before posting, I suppose 😂.
Seems a pointless thing to get het up about, really. To be honest, as there’s no agree button or like button, I suppose “this” sums up agreement to the post in question. I suppose you could type “agree” instead, if you wanted to.
Ok, you’ve all proved your point and there’s no need to keep on. As for those who kept writing ‘this’ on its own just to annoy me, well, on the contrary, it made me laugh! Also, seeing ‘this’ so often in your replies has made me almost immune to it and I truly don’t give a toss one way or the other about it now! So, a BIG thank you and I will try to stop being so silly!

I sometimes do it....it means 8 absolutely agree with what a PP has posted....couldn't have said it better myself....and feel strongly enough that I want to post ....I mean if that gets you het up .....I think you need to calm down a bit...sort your stress levels out a bit
I read it as a more emphatic version of agree, "this" encapsulates all the points I would make, perhaps it should be preceded by "exsctly" for even more emphasis. I'm probably over thinking it though before your post it hadn't occurred to me to question it.
