+1 is a low-bandwidth way to express "yes, let's explore what this person is talking about some more because this is interesting."
If it's a problem, maybe the rule should be to place [+1] before the subject line. But that's going to split the thread in lots of mail readers... Especially when there's a strong polar dispute between people on squeak-dev, this has worked really well in the short time I've been around. One time I got in trouble for saying "+1000." I guess I'm only allowed one. :) Casey On Nov 8, 2011, at 5:14 PM, Joel Healy <[email protected]> wrote: > I started this +1 thing.
