If I really like a shot and the moon is full, I will send a private message to that effect to the person who posted it. If I have some critique that I think will be of interest to other people, I post it to the list. But 90% of my responses are private. Like Sonny, I look at virtually all postings on this list and on the LEG, but it is impossible to comment on every one of them. I will admit that if I really think that a picture sucks, I will usually just move on without posting a note to that effect privately or on-list. I am only human, and it is a lot more pleasing to give out compliments than to critisize.
