Why--tho You Usually Want Long (about a Paragraph) Responses--You Might Sometimes WANT Short Responses

Commenting about 'having the last word,' I mentioned "the Community Guidelines" and how they tell us that 'comments that are useless' will be deleted---mentioning how people ought to "Report" comments that are nothing-but 'I don't know' and 'Yeah, whatever' (or 'FIRST!'). But--though the PURPOSE of posting a discussion (or -responding to a post or -replying to a response) is 'to give the other members here something to reply-to'--sometimes (even though the response you give IS just "I don't know" or "whatever") I'll just "Like" the response and leave it ... because sometimes all I want is 'agreement' or 'encouragement' or 'to confuse you'! But you might be careful and--if you post a reply shorter than one line--make one of the "tags" 'what you hope your brief response provides' (levity, clarification, agreement, etc.)
