Why I don't usually comment...

Sun Oct 29, 2006, 9:27 PM
Some people say it is rude fo fav something without leaving comments. I almost never comment on other people's works for several reasons.

1) Although I dabble in drawing, painting, and writing (and theatre as well) I don't really consider myself an artist. I don't have the knowledge to offer meaningfull praise or criticism.

2) I hate to post anything unless I have read through all the previous comments and well I usually don't have time to read 8+ pages of comments. I suppose its a psychological quirk or something.

3) If I like a work enough to Fav it that pretty much says it all right there. If I like enough of an artists works I Watch them as well. Adding a "Hey I really like this!" on top of that is redundant. Being a programmer by trade I hate redundancy! Simplicity and efficiency are the way to go.

Anyhow, If I add you to my watch list or fav some of your works please take it as a compliment and don't be offended if I did not leave a comment. Thank you for your time in reading this and thank you for sharing the fruits of your labor with myself and the whole community.

I've never been of that school of thought. To me, a silent watch or fave is tremendous positive feedback and I've never understood why people get so up in arms about that. I do drive-bys too simply because I may not have time to comment, but want to express a little appreciation, at least.

At any rate, I really do appreciate the watch and the fave!
