knocte, in case you were wondering why you got downvoted (though by the time you read this you may be back to 1 or higher, who knows), on this forum there's a bit of pressure to avoid the "this" and "+1" comments. Some with high enough karma will downvote these sorts of comments when they come across them. To avoid those downvotes, but still post something, minimally add a sentence or two explaining why you're in agreement. For example:
