I find the same thing. Lots of traffic at my site whenever I mention a 
picture.

I am amazed that so many people can be subscribed yet only a handful post.
Hey lurkers - speak up!

Mostly we want to be entertained. 
Have you ever replied to your TV - "great show, thanks for letting me 
see"? 
Hard to pull the needle of  the "entertainment IV"  from one's arm and 
participate in life when so much of it is poured into your head.

Its interesting that a comment such as " I like it" or "good picture" can 
generate any controversy, but somehow it does. I particularly enjoyed 
Ted's comments because most of the time he could make them and not have 
anyone start a gratuitous flame war.

But at even a controvery or flame war  surrounding a photo seems 
appropriate for this list! At least its about a picture.
