Could someone who downvoted this please tell me why? I was praising a useful thought (WWHJPEVD?).

Nonspecific praise clutters up the thread. Next time, just upvote--it conveys the same information.

Thanks!

The above is a terribly ironic reply.

Why our kind can't cooperate seems relevant. Even nonspecfic praise can create more fuzzy feelings than an upvote.
