RE: ENGAGEMENT - The FOUNDATION of ENRICHMENT

This lack of commitment is not a very encouraging sign for the future.
It is nice to receive feedback and to have proof that you are not writing in vain but often the feedback is not exactly honest. It is usually only positive so not always useful. I tried several times to be critical with some posts and I only managed to get upset. Only Denise, @dswigle, I couldn't upset, even though I tried. Denise is the only person here I know who responds to all comments. It is a model of communication but also on the positive side and with the desire to please others.
Yes, posts without any commitment are desolate, but I don't think we have to write for others, we can also write for ourselves ... If we produce something of quality, it is impossible for at least one person to notice our work ... we there are many of us here and our expectations may be different. According to our personality. I consider that a vote, manual or automatic, is a kind of commitment and sometimes even a recognition of value. Of course, it is debatable how much the reward is proportional to the value but this is something very subjective and is not the only thing that does not work here. I try to keep a balance between pessimism and optimism but if I think about the future I am afraid that pessimism is the choice.
