I would respond to this intriguing question, Guy, except that ... I don't want to be corrected. I much prefer it when I'm agreed with and people type back things to me like, "... you made a really good point back there, Frakes! I will continue to read your posts with great interest." Mhm ... that's the kind of response I enjoy receiving, the most, I think. In fact ... I'm sure of it.
The problem with the "You're awesome" reply is that the only possible way to continue the conversation further is to agree with the person who just labelled you awesome, and that's a little bit too conceited even for me.
Praise kills conversations, while adding almost nothing.
