    It should work. Have fun with it. And no, I don't have a way for you to turn it off. So... Live with it.

    If people hate it, then I'll make it go away later.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    i like it.

    however psychologically i keep associating it with thanks in my head so whenever I am quoted I think it's someone agreeing with me and liking me but I forget sometimes people are quoting me and being dickheads. So it'll take some adjustment.

    I also like the potential for it to be used as a pinging system.
