Can anyone explain this new Thanking feature?

[Spicoli]

Just noticed this today and have not seen a thread about it...Just looking for a bit of knowledge on it....Can you tell who thanked you?....What exactly does it mean?...what is the difference between that and giving out rep?

Yeh,Bilbo layed on the floor and pitched a fit about reps getting out of hand for newbies and Vetran posters not being in the lead and getting there just do so "Ta-daa".Now you can simply thank someone (basically a CC) without actually contributing to there rep or punchpower.while all along you could actually choose how much rep (1 point =1 CC really)to give on a scale so now we just have more .............tools or gadgets ?At the bottom of your post,it says who thanked you.
