That bond is greater than any numbers or proof about something than anything else.
Part 2 - I'm thinking that they want to be part of the crowd, to be accepted by the crowd that is. Or, they might just want the rest of the posters/readers to see that they also agree with the general consensus. Would it be okay, or the same, if the poster only posted "+1"? Or does that still count as redundant?  |

Anyways, great response. =)

Part 2 - I agree with Iwantone2 on this one. They probably saw all the other responses, but still felt that THEIR wording of the same sentiment was needed (the kind of people that like to hear themselves talk perhaps?)

I would post a reply to this thread, but it would be redundant.
Therefore, I shall post this:
