Who is the 'other person' here on mylot?

Tweet

Hello everyone! Few days ago one of the users (I am sorry I am forgetting the name of the user) raised a doubt about ‘like’ option. He pointed out that many a times a caption appears ‘you, dpk262006, mavic123456 and one 1 other person liked it’. His doubt was – ‘who comes in the category of ‘other person’. I remember that I responded that of course it cannot be an outsider but it would be a mylot user. While checking responses to my own discussions I clicked the ‘1 other person’ caption. Thereafter, a separate window surfaced and a list appeared on the window, showing the names of all the users who ‘liked’ the comment. I found that if I have not been ‘following’ a user and he has ‘liked’ my post, his name appeared under the caption ‘other person’ and I had an option to ‘follow’ him from that point onward. I clicked the ‘follow’ icon for the user, whom I had not been following so far. What I gather from the entire exercise is that if I have been ‘following’ any user and he likes my post/comment, user’s name appears on the post, else he is shown under the category of ‘other person’. May be some of you already know about it, yet I thought it that I should start a discussion on this issue so that newbies and others who are unaware could know about ‘other person’.
