Okay, see, that's just the point Arts was trying to get across! You shouldn't have the attitude of 'I usually comment when I'm forced to...' that's just plain ridiculous! Comments, particularly good comments, are a really awesome way to say to someone "Hey, I read your story, here's what I like, here's what I think you could improve on." Unfortunately, pages on the wiki don't track number of visitors, and it's often just the boost an author needs to see that someone has commented saying something nice or encouraging about their story. So yeah, a good third of the blog just went right over your head.
