Since I'm the one who started the trend :) I though I'd chip in and
say that whereas some other people translated it to "I think you
mean... hope this helps, have a nice day!" I prefer "I think you

Of course, I didn't invent that expression, so I'm not really
authoritative... I just use it a lot...
