Here is a comment that I just made somewhere else, which I think is such a good idea that I think you should know about it too.
"The other part of Livejournal is that, to reward the poster for posting something interesting, one can't just go *LIKE* with a single click. And usenet etiquette, which mostly pertains here, says that it is gauche to post just a smirkee or a me too. But sometimes one doesn't have anything useful to contribute other than "how very interesting" so one does nothing and the Livejournal poster feels that they are just shouting into an empty echo-ey tunnel - and they stop posting.
So maybe, while we are all getting back up to speed with Livejournal use, it will be okay to simply post this reply:
Read and enjoyed; thanks."
