Well, you need at least three characters after a quote to post -- any fewer and it just won't let you -- and "agree." is six letters, while "This." is five.

And "agree" is five, but an incomplete thought. Which is totally different from "this", obviously.

Er, ah, um, I mean "This." (I believe it's a hongism, originally, but I do kind of enjoy blaming much of enworld's quirks on him.)

I disclaim all responsibility.

OT...

I always wanted to know, when quoting someone, what is the purpose of quoting them and then just using the word "This" afterwards? Is that supposed to mean something? I see it all the time, and not sure why it is used...

I take it to mean that it is something you agree with, but then, why not just say "I agree" or /agree?

Can't speak for others, but I do it because Hong does it...

Really
