>>Why repeat it? Maybe a reply that says 'Ditto'?

In general I don't like to repeat either but a lot of times here people are not looking for answers but rather struggling with insecurity and I think repeating a positive suggestion that you believe in helps to reinforce it.

So there are many times when I will find myself repeating a previous posters answer just to lend my support to the situation.

Even a reply that just says "ditto" can be very supportive to someone struggling with something IMO.

And I do believe every opinion is valid, the special case here is that it must be expressed in a supportive manner and not be judgemental, which can be hard to do, so I think it is OK to post only when you are comfortable, but don't take that to think that your opinion isn't valid.

Did that make any sense?
