RE: Value added comments

You pointed out something I just figured out today, and it's good to have that reinforced. I had been thinking that my upvote was worth maybe a penny, and later in the day not even that (as my VP decreases). So I would upvote posts but rarely comments. Then I realized today that upvoting a comment moved it to the top of the comment stack. So that meant more people would see it. So now I'm trying to do that, though my VP is getting killed. I think I'm at less than 50% right now.

I also really appreciate your statement that doesn't apply to me in the doing, but does mean a lot to me in the receiving. Those folks who have been on here a long time who still take the time to respond to comments, and more than that, to respond to comments from absolute strangers discovering them for the first time, well they really make it much more hospitable here for us newbies.

Thanks always for your generous and helpful posts.
