Aye, there's the rub, and of course the reason for making the effort count.

Could be like: click on 'thanks loads', and get a clickable list of 'why' (e.g., 'because it answered my question directly' or 'because i learned something new' or 'because this person thanked me last time' (with the option to add your own)) - so, 2 clicks instead of one.



Just brainstorming. It's almost certainly an idea that would never fly because I'm lazy too
