It worked. It didn't work so well in the aforementioned thread.

I can see your point about ill will etc. This is of course why anonymity, for the thumbs up (thanks) and thumbs down (no thanks) is probably more than worthwhile. Especially from the 'whoring' pov.

[Related: I must say, I find it a little odd to see who thanked me, or allow people to see who I thanked in such a public manner. Now *that* can only encourage the 'whoring' you mention, surely?...]
