Wouldn't it be nice if......

Would it be nice if we could "see" how many people have read our messages.  Well, perhaps this might work.

 

What if one was to hit the "RECOMMEND" button ~ which is found right alongside the "REPLY" button.  This show up on top of the messages you read.  That way people would indeed know that someone is reading the messages, and it would also give the 'silent majority' a way of being counted.  I realize that not everybody wants to reply to a message, but what a neat way of saying you have read it!!!!

 

I can see that there could possible be problems with people not understanding that by "RECOMMENDING" a message you are not agreeing/disagreeing with the message, but only that you have read it.

 

I know that sometimes one wonders if there actually is anybody that reads our messages, and this would be a great way of letting them know.

 

Just thought that this might be a great bandaid solution.

 

Cheers.
