What's up with all the "empty" comments?

Just a slight aggravation (my own pet peeve) - maybe it's just me and I don't want to name names - but I have noticed an increase in the number of empty responses to posts.

So what the heck is up with that?

Why is it necessary make empty comments like - "great system" or "I agree" or varations like that? Am I missing something here - is there a race for the ehMac'r with the most posts?

Can we just not read a post and let it be if we have nothing valuable to add -

Okay. You asked for it. I think this thread belongs in the Everything Else forum.

Just teasing.

Cheers.

Really? - the Everything Else Forum? what's that?

(edit - opps spoke to soon - here I am)

Mama always said, If you can't say something nice......

Sometimes time does not allow for an indepth answer, and at time you wonder if anyone is even reading or paying attention to a thread. Kinda nice to know someone is there.
IMHO

Word up.

IMHO, it is better to leave a more indepth comment, but sometimes an "empty" comment is all that can be said. I know when I first joined ehMac, I posted empty comments everywhere. [img]redface.gif[/img] Not something I'm proud of, but I do know that I have moved on from that.
