Ha, I feel well and truly scolded and so took myself off to comment on your last post! :)

I will say that when I like something and I see that very few people have left feedback, I am quite diligent about leaving encouragement and thanks. However, when particular stories, authors or graphics makers regularly get enormous amounts of feedback with every post, I don't always bother commenting, feeling that my little 10 pence worth won't be missed. That is especially true of those people who reply to less than a quarter of the comments they receive. They may read every one, but if they don't bother acknowledging them, even with a simple "thank you", I won't always bother leaving them! LOL

Of course, these are simply my feelings and I know lots of others who feel differently. *shrugs*
