I post a picture when I'm asked to do so as in doing a mug rug, a round robin or a row quilt....other than that, I put so much time and energy into making a quilt I'm quite happy to just package it up and send it on it's way! For me, the fun was in doing it, meeting a challenge or making someone happy. Commenting on every picture, to me, is like promising all 400 people you graduated with that you'll always keep in touch but you don't because LIFE keeps happening.
I have to agree with this statement and add that compliments given indiscriminately have no worth. If people are only posting to get a "feel good," perhaps they should seek validation from themselves.
