I don't bother contributing "Lol" or, "yes, I agree completely". Never really seen the point of padding web discussions out with sycophantic arse licking. There are lots of people on chocky who are extremely clever, witty, clear thinking, and with whom I agree......they're the ones I don't reply to.
