Call this my Larry David CP moment.

What's with the thanks and reply? Why thank a post, then reply to it explaining the purpose behind the thanks, the reasoning for this pressing of the thanks button? Does that count as a double thanks? What's the purpose of this? If you're going to do that, why not just reply and say why it was such a good or bad post and forgo the whole thanks in the first place?

I think proper thanks etiquette needs to be laid down. The first being the faux pas of the thanks and reply. It's like the wearing socks with sandals of the message board world.
