Good grief, I didn't realise you needed a maths degree to figure out if people on the Forum love you or not.
Strange that according to JK's meticulous calculations I apparently got some "thumbs down when everybody swore blind they'd given a thumbs up. But . . . mustn't grumble.
Anyway, I agree with JK that they really should offer us more icons so that we can give a more nuanced response to posts. With all the strange and largely unneccessary bells and whistles and statistical stuff that Wordpress offer, surely it wouldn't be too hard for them to provide something along the following lines.
(This is only a rough initial proposal, obviously. A more detailed work-up could be supplied for a suitable fee).

Thanks for that, Jack. Took me a while to put it all together, but if anyone can appreciate and identify with a piece of infantile nonsense, it's you. And I mean that as a compliment. Absolutely.
Which reminds me, I need to add another icon . . .
My idea was that if people were provided with a suitable range of visual symbols it might discourage them from inserting their own, perhaps less acceptable, visual "reactions". Dignity and decorum must be maintained.
Meanwhile, I imagine there are some of those people out there right now, brows furrowed in concentration, furiously stabbing at one or another of my "serious disapproval" icons. Perhaps I should have made it clearer that they haven't been activated yet.
Yes, Harv, lots more could be added. As I say, it's still a work in progress. Not that I personally intend spending one more damn minute on it, but you know what I mean.
p.s. JK. I just managed to dig into my profile stats. It says I've received 1508 likes, but under "Liked" it says "0". No comprendo.

Graeme; The various symbols you offer are entertaining and occasionally very practical. For example, the last two would be great to use as a reminder of a scheduled visit to the proctologist.
