i am ambivalent about +1s, they don't enrage me like they do some folks, neither do i love them like many deadspinners - hence my genuine question about their use over here.
also, you seem to think things should be spelled out in black and white, hence the google and encyclopedia replies - maybe try to understand the comment before replying?
follow up question: are there any blue states left?
eta: fixed the spelling error.
Also, my favorite refrain for when comments involve "why don't you write about x, y, or z instead" is why don't you read some other site?
