Resteeming posts in steemit is somehow plain and straightforward. Just click the resteem icon, click OK then that post will now appear in your personal feed. We were never given a chance to say something or point out why we are sharing that particular post.

So if I may suggest, why don't you allow us to add short texts in posts we are resteeming.

**How bout from this:**

**Why not make it like this:**

I said short text so that it would not look like that the original post is being hijacked by the one resteeming it. I'm thinking of 160 characters maximum. I also added the text *(from busy.org)* "This action cannot be reversed." to warn users before confirming.

**The personal feed would then look like this:**

**The main feed is tricky but I'm thinking of something like this:**

Of course, the box will have to expand if the text is longer.

So there, just a suggestion from a user who likes to comment or share his thought on something that he is sharing. 

Thanks!
