Sorry to come off as a stickler but dear god you do it EVERYWHERE on this site and it's incredibly annoying. Here's an idea: if it doesn't relate to you, only bother quote replying if you have something congratulatory or directly related to the original poster to say, instead of inserting yourself into something that wasn't really inviting you to do so in the first place.
If none of these options fit the situation, but you still want to acknowledge the post, +1/-1 it. I mean c'mon, dude.
I would think that's the reason why I also +1'ed it since that's something I pretty much do for all my congratulatory posts whether it's the potential thread, the level up thread or the achievement thread. Sometimes I don't know what to say, sometimes I'm just +1'ing because it's impressive and maybe sometimes I just find it funny since I don't respond to every single thing I +1/-1 for.
Just so you know I don't think saying only 'Congratulations!' is very much better, it's literally one word and I wouldn't even have said anything if the post wasn't somewhat ironic what with Pink Bean defeating Pink Bean which was almost the same case as mine. Self-centred? Maybe, but you can't say that I didn't acknowledge the defeat on its own as I was pretty much saying "Yes, that is technical suicide and I thought the same when I helped my friend who fancies himself as Pink Bean do it. Also, we had a good laugh camping for the last few minutes".
After all this is about experience; I simply don't comment if I don't find anything remarkable about it or if I don't relate in some way just like I don't +1 or -1 every little thing even if I have opinions about it since I want it to actually count but you did remind me that I have a PB run to try this week so maybe I can make that all about me.
(Anyhow, in spite of my counter-argument and sarcasm I'll do this less because I don't like being thought of as not contributing much even if it doesn't break any rules. Just give me some time to improve on it. :c)
