I mostly post, it turns out when I examine it, in an attempt to learn better what I think! But of course () I always want others to approve of my attempts, and that doesn't always happen. I use Thanks on the posts of others because they have said something that I agree with or they present a new thought that seems valuable to me. But I am not consistent in the use of Thanks or Hugs, or even reading posts in general, so anyone who wants my approval had better take my fallibility into consideration!
