Googlers: there is an up vote button next to posts you can click to express agreement

Wow - all these years on HN and I never noticed that! </sarcasm>

Yeah - I also clicked on the arrow. The problem is that nobody except the poster will see that. I wanted a more public statement of support. I could have added a comment that essentially duplicates what others have said - but I was feeling a bit flippant so I decided to have a little fun and post what I did.

Sorry if I offended you.

Happy that you mentioned this. I recently got downvoted 3 times cause I wanted to express public support verbally as well.

You vote for good comments, whether you agree with them or not. To make a statement you comment.
