If i recall correctly, that was aboaut a scoring sysytem of how many
points you would get if you were in a car and hit them. If I remember, a
pregnat lady with a baby carriage walking with her graandmother . who used
a walker would get you very high points. It was a kind of stupid kid
joke thing that no one took seriously, as no one was expecting a driver to
be really chasing pedestrians in crosswalks. Ementary school stuff.
Nothig like saying +1 when agreeing and not wanting to clutter up by
repeating the whole thing again.

Yes. That's what it was and that's what the +1 reminds me of. I did google
it and although it did say that it meant that the poster agreed, it also had
some snarky connotations which I won't repeat here because too many people
are jumping on me for being snarky prior to this.

I just type "agreed". Much easier for me than trying to hunt for the rarely
used plus sign.
