I'd rather see a reply with <span class="emoticon e_grin" title=":D"><span class="e__">:D</span></span> or <span class="emoticon e_nod" title="(nod)"><span class="e__">(nod)</span></span> or "I agree.".<br /><br /> But yeah, wouldn't do any harm either other than possibly reducing the number of posts, as Ant says.<br /><br /> But yeah, if there's 'like' I'd really want 'dislike' too.</div>
