I think this is a good idea. I don't have anything else to add though, so this is a useless reply, but it's the only way I can show that I agree with something.
Some people seem to think these kinds of posts actually contribute to a discussion.You do have something to add to discussion, you just don't want to bother writing out the ways in which you agree with the OP, nor combat any of the negative responses above on the side of the OP.
This is all well and good but it makes for a very unproductive and uninteresting post. Now, yours was not just a simple "this is a good idea" post because you had a purpose behind it to demonstrate the "effectiveness" of posts like this (pretty neutrally, IMO; well done there), but that doesn't mean that a post of this nature is at all productive or effective in the area of discussion creation.
This is where the "like", "+/-1", "approve" feature(s) come in to play (along with quote-posting, this-ing, and QFT-ing).
If people can't take at least a part of your post and work off of it and discuss it in anyway, I say it's probably not worth posting. Even a joke post should be able to be laughed and subsequently discussed at or commented upon.
