@MISSINGROSIE - We apparently were posting here almost simultaneously but I guess you type faster (and probably better) than I do. I never should have dropped out of Typing and switched to Study Hall instead. But who would've thought way back then that typing would become so useful?
I actually knew by experimenting that I could click on the 'thumbs up' and see who the givers were. And I like that if I've given a 'thumbs up' on a particular thread/post that Mr. Green Thumbs turns into Mr. Gray Thumb so I know that I did actually give the 'thumbs up'. I'm guessing it works like that for the acorns as well. Haven't had a chance to look. No, wait. I think I gave one to Dave b/c he's worked so hard and is so pleasant to all of the users who are either crabbing or asking questions that were already 'asked and answered'. (learned that fun phrase in law school. 'Asked and answered, your Honor!' or in Spanish it would just be 'Adelante'! And in millennial speak it would be, 'Move along!'))
I also noticed the when I 'starred' something that Mr. Star became Mr. Gray. Like it.
@MISSINGROSIE - Well I think that was a little rude, or maybe just 'unthinking' that out of 20 people no one thought to thank you for giving them an acorn. Altho if I did give one to Dave, he didn't thank me. Or I could be making this up. But he is awful busy, I'll spot him that.
One last thing. I feel the need to quote my older brother who wisely told me that gelato makes all things better. So there you have it.
