As far as I understand, that is a common British thing to do when one agree with the current speaker. (Watch news reports involving the British government's debates, usually involving the Prime minister, for some examples) Another way I see people do the exact same thing is replying with "+1". "Hear, hear" is the same thing. Untill someone comes with valid claims that this have the exact opposite meaning or to be offensive in another other country, I intend to keep using it. :-)= -- Johnny A. Solbu PGP key ID: 0xFA687324
