A: "I'd _rep your post a thousand times_, if I could."

A is expressing his enthusiastic support for the opinion expressed in
an earlier post by B.
But what does _rep_ mean, exactly, in that context?
Does it mean, rapspeak-like, that "I wish that there were a thousand
other occasions on which I could 'represent' or publicly show my
support for your opinion"?
Or,
"I'd re-post your post to a thousand other sites"?
Or something more subtle?
Or something more obvious?
