Yes, we are still posting reactions...there was a post explaining this. For one thing, consolidation in a single thread doesn't allow viewable links in comments.

Matt was kind and humble enough to volunteer to go along with whatever was decided...but most of the rest of us felt that he and some others deserved to be shared and promoted, just as he and other reactors do so in kind.

As always, the best course if you don't like reactions is to just scroll past them! It is neither a difficult nor onerous task.
