Pavlov's dogs

I don't see them as "rewards," rather as friends or members who may agree with the Post, or feel touched by it.

Sometimes I get a 2x4 upside the head...... Other times, my friends lift my spirits......

It's all good. We are told in Scripture to edify one another........and that's how I see them.

Question now is: Do I "like" your OP, or would that be kinda dopey now? Awww shoot.......

I responded to tow threads, then realized I forgot to give a "reward". So I went back and gave a what ever... Then I realized it's like we are so like Pavlov's dogs.... lol I even look to see what kind of "reward" I got for my comment. Would you commit if there was no reward system? What do you think of the rewards? Do you feel like a dog getting it's reward?...lol....

I do agree that there is a bit of an addiction to check back in to see if I (anyone) happens to have any new alerts...
However, I too do not necessarily see it as a reward system...
I see it more like a trend with social media in general - I tend to wanna stay abreast of topics of interest - to keep-up or contribute to the discussion - often intrigued to hear the contributions from several of our esteemed cc members. Kind of a self validation - often gratifying to know that my perspectives are not completely off-center or the sole-outlyer...
I think of it more like conversations around the office - some peak my interest and I may wanna weigh-in and contribute; while other conversations may not peak my interest...
In the case of CC - I'm often more interest if an individual is seeking advice or guidance thought that the responses provided to him/her are useful...

I didn't "like" your post because I was afraid folks would accuse me of being addicted to likes! Yikes!

Those little thumbs up and smiles and ticks are nice because at lest you know someone has read your comment.. But really they are not necessary for me at lest.. I just like having the opportunity to share / give what i have to give and hope that someone may be helped along their Way to salvation by reading what i offered..

Well, shoot, ok then...........I'll just quote your comment so you know I read it
