@thor "Okay" is sort of like that, too; some people nod and say Okay (or "uh huh"?) every few seconds while listening.
I'm just speculatin' here. :)
QT discourse
@chris
:) Yeah, and I think it is some ego thing like that. "I don't want to just be another participant in this thread, I want my own thread about it!"

Meanwhile if you are Welsh, now is the time of year where a skeleton horse might show up at your door and challenge you to a rap battle.
If you lose the horse comes into your house and drinks your booze.
Merry Christmas from Mari Lwyd!

QT discourse
I honestly don't understand why people want the QT ability, basically to start a new thread using someone else's words (and adding your own).
Why not just reply in Public mode? Your followers will see it, and you'll be part of the conversation. What's the disadvantage?
@edbott Why not just reply? Your followers will see it, as will other people in the thread. Why do you need to start a new thread of your own?

Our friendly vixen, Lopa, has started showing up again - must have been the cold weather keeping her away. I took this close-up of her last night. #fox #NaturePhotography #wildlife
