Commenting as an obligation is worthless!
I fully agree with this. It is like writing lines in detention, you are forced to do it but not enjoy it.
Some writers mentioned here that they would appreciate comments like "Good Story", "great Job" etc. even though LSF discourages such comments. I guess in those cases you can always send a private message. A PM always feels new and different. Even more, you can actually comment on 4/5 stories and make up for your lack of words for each.
I think this thread in being repetitive and boring. It would be nice if we could find something new to discuss.
