Now I want to "like" that post, too! Dammit!
I'm torn on a "like" option. It's nice to get a shiny red notification that your post was liked and enjoyed by all (and really, feedback that it was read), but my guess is that could be a distraction in a big boy forum like this.
On the other hand, being a bit of a lurker myself, there's so many knowledgeable posts that I'd like to give a quick tip of my hat to, some funny 'uns too. Instead of making a post "hey, what you just said, I really found it useful" and/or....

Number of "likes" display can also be hidden until clicked on.
Buuuut, I couldn't really say on this site as I'm on the fringe. Just follow your heart!!
