(62,683 posts)6. When you post a response, your post automatically "kicks up" the thread --
more responses makes it more visible.
The recommend button speaks for itself.
When people post K&R that means they want to kick the thread up (and are thereby doing so by posting) but don't really have anything to say about the topic.
The R doesn't have to go with the K, but usually does.
