There's something of a different mentality between READING and WRITING... and if you're planning on doing more reading, stopping to write a comment tends to shift your focus, insight or not. Which does take time. I still feel like there has to be some way to cross the streams though.<br /><br />As far as being discouraged by lack of feedback, yeah Scott, I think you put that well. Even though we may think the worst, better to assume the best.Gregory Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06547180132612659893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109150351375891279.post-19370355803434243752014-02-22T10:27:17.329-08:002014-02-22T10:27:17.329-08:00What he said.What he said.(x, why?)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17499160002806879025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109150351375891279.post-40198865231776526622014-02-19T20:10:43.663-08:002014-02-19T20:10:43.663-08:00For me, it's usually that "everything is ...For me, it's usually that "everything is covered well", followed by "I don't have the inclination" and "I'd say +1 but that's trite". By nature, I tend to lurk, so I need to be a) moved to b) think of a comment that no one else has said.<br /><br />Lack of feedback is discouraging. It's hard to improve when no one says, "Work on this more," or, "Keep this up." At the same time, "You suck!" is a guttural response, and not getting that means you're doing something right. Sometimes, a lack of feedback is feedback of its own, but it's a mess to try to figure out. I'd love feedback on my own blog, but I don't have that many people following. There may be a critical mass of followers needed, but I have no idea what that is.<br />Scott Delahunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06735796666483741699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109150351375891279.post-42727668584312081752014-02-18T15:42:06.405-08:002014-02-18T15:42:06.405-08:00This is not a comment.

I've even seen it for webcomics, so I'm not sure why it didn't occur. I guess the only trouble would be someone stumbling into the middle of a series, but then getting spoilers as the recap updated to cover later things. Don't know how likely a scenario that is, of course.<br />Thought appreciated, hope it didn't delay you too much!Gregory Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06547180132612659893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109150351375891279.post-25447138798055959482014-02-17T10:59:07.338-08:002014-02-17T10:59:07.338-08:00Yup, that pretty much sums up why I'm not leav...Yup, that pretty much sums up why I'm not leaving a comment. <br />That and the fact that my wife just reminded me that I should be getting ready to leave and not blogrolling... <br /><br />On a constructive note: would it be possible to start a post with a link to "The Story So Far...", better known as "Previously, on Taylor's Polynomials..." which could be a link to a page that gets updated occasionally, or the link itself could get updated. Then you can your dry-read cake and skip it, too. (x, why?)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17499160002806879025noreply@blogger.com
