I've said 'good find' for years, my intent is to thank the contributor, and it's my business what I might do with the information. So I'm not going to stop because of a sperry rant. Maybe I haven't noticed it's being over-used elsewhere; and if it's getting to you, Scott, sorry for you. (Maybe some therapy to get that fat-assed retarded roommate's phrasebook out of your memory banks would be a good gift for you next year.)
Along the lines of lol and smiley faces--well, sometimes the redeeming value I get from those, is that I can see who shares a similar sense of humor. And I guess in my case, when I 'lol' at something, what I might be trying to say is, Thank you for giving me something funny to laugh about today, because I haven't laughed out loud for awhile and I really needed that.
btw: who is Bonny (and why does she buy crap)?
