I for one, really appreciate each and every comment on my posts, and try to answer any questions that have been asked either on the thread if I think others may be interested, or with a PM if the question or answer is only specific to that person. Part of the reason I post my work is to share knowledge and ideas with others here, and it is very gratifying to me when I am able to help others. I am also very appreciative of advice/suggestions others here give to me!
I take the time to read responses on others' post before I comment. That way if a question has been asked and answered already I'll see it and can comment appropriately. That being said, if I see a post that doesn't grab my attention/interested, I just close it and move on to the next. I know I miss some posts, but like to try to keep up with as much as I can.
