Posting guide: like vs thank you

[Neville1]

In the unofficial guide, posting etiquette under posting, could it be mentioned that, instead of replying to useful response with a 'thank you' post, the appropriate action is to like the answer? Seems obvious to me.

Edit: I've reconsidered seeing that it's very dependent on context and I cannot concisely describe that.

Some people want to express thanks more personally than just poking an emoji. I reckon the thumbs-up is an excellent substitute for posting "I agree", but practicing gratitude is a positive thing, I think.
