I've never come across this +1 notation apart from in this group. I soonKen said:+1 (and that's probably the first time I've ever used that).
I don't know either of those things, and Google, Urban Dictionary, andIn some groups I frequent, it's now just <AOL>, as everyone knows how
and why it came about.

do my white-eared elephant impersonation either then?
Well, I appreciate it linguistically, but I am offended that *anything*I award this witticism a BTGB merit.

"The September that never ends." Usenet used to be filled with newbies
with very little idea of usenet etiquette every September when they got
their first taste of usenet and the internet in general at college. By
October, they had either adapted or been flamed off the system. When AOL
gave their lusers usenet access, it was as if September never ended,as a
lot of them couldn't take a hint.
For more information, read:-

Which explains on more detail why <AOL> has come to mean "Me too" or
"+1".,or even "I agree with this post" Put simply, many AOL users when
given usenet access, used to repost an entire thread of maybe 500 lines,
then add at the bottom "I agree with this post", "Me too" or "+1".
In the case of the
<aol>
Me, too"!
</aol>
The poster is trying to make it look like a program statement.
Alternatives include
<Mode = AOL>
Me, too!
<Mode off>
