It really is, you just need to look out for it.
And thank you. I am always wondering if it is worth the effort, it takes quite more time than I assumed earlier. And sometimes I'm not even sure that somebody is reading it. So some little comment like yours is always a nice motivation to keep it up.

If I am going to vote then I generally comment. And I can't vote without reading. I know we are doing this for the dollars but for me the motivating factor is about community. I know how much effort I put into content and photos. While I appreciate the upvotes I really love it when someone takes the time to read and comment.
