njrick: I wasn't comment-grubbing (which I gave up long ago) - I was merely 'VIEW'-grubbing.
I am sure there is a fine distinction Rick! Perhaps you can explain it to Miss Thrashbottom during your next therapy session! I know you don't do sequels but perhaps after your weekly visit you may feel like having a go at "An unrepentant grubber learns his lesson!" Tut tut!! And I thought you had reformed!!
Since the point of the 500-story rule, extremely limited though it seems to be, is that views should rightfully result in comments, in a thread originally RE that rule there has to be a truly miniscule 'hair-splitting' distinction between "VIEW-grubbing" and "comment-grubbing."
"Ideally, if you fully view a story you should post a comment on it."
"Here's a story of mine that I'd suggest you fully view."
IMHO that's damned close to "comment-grubbing"...
