I'll give people a few tries, but if I never get a response on a comment I will most likely not continue to support the person
That's a good way to go about it :)
Yup, if someone gives you the time to comment, at least an upvote if you can't think of something to reply. Sometimes I can't, and just upvote...
I appreciate you taking the time to respond. ;) Yep, just some small acknowledgement is all it takes! I'm sure it gets tough to reply to everyone when you get hundreds of comments a day, so I do try to take that into consideration, as well.
