If it doesn't make it significantly easier to share threads, what's the point of having it anyway? If it does, why is that a good idea so far BS threads are involved, since it's simple enough anyway?

And I agree with Bonnie's point about the annoying way the menu of Twitters and the like leaps out and takes over anytime you move the cursor across the button. (Over 170 options for sharing, I see...) Inelegant - one of the things that makes the Mudcat different is that it is elegant and simple.
