Yes, you're right. I guess I was being too anal. I write "good job" posts too. I just meant overuse of spam commenting....that was the intended meaning.

I don't think you were being too anal, I think your intended message came through in what you wrote. I still wanted to justify my personal views on short messages. I want to try to provide people with the feeling that they are welcome here and appreciated (they are, but so many posts come and go with out so much as a message at all). Providing people with the validation that, hey, people are reading what I spent time to write has some value, and I certainly think it has value to them.
Keep doin' what you are doing. You are out there fighting for the little guy all the time. I see your comments.
I just noticed the trending page! It's nuts! I am so surprised, as I am not used to things being so focused on engagement......I'm used to the horrible state of the old trending pages....I think things perhaps are looking better....When did this new algo go into effect?
I actually haven't looked at the trending page for months, the one right now is so strange to me. I don't know what the selection criterion is for trending at the moment, but this is certainly the most diverse subset of posting topics I have seen on that page.
I probably have a more positive outlook on the developments going on here then seemingly many people. I think a lot of what is being done to the site in general is with the best interest of the every day poster at heart. Nothing is perfect however...
