appreciation to the posters for taking the trouble. Even if the post is "bad" news (i.e. 'Analyst says Dem Strategy Sucks'). Sometimes I worry people might think I rec'd a post because I agree with it, but in the cases where I rec a "bad news" post it's either because it's important to know, or to thank the poster.

I bookmark REALLY crucial posts, probably way too many.

We have certain people who regular post breaking or important news, or news on all sorts of topics, like climate, environment, even archeology. Sometimes I even rec posts and the only purpose is to sort of let them know people are reading and appreciate what they do.
