Well stated!.  Make it for yourself.  Sometimes people like it and sometimes not.

no feelings have been hurt at all...

my stuff does not appeal to most & thats cool cause it is really more just for me anyway....

 

I rarely send my mailart but I do make it everyday

 

Also - the reactions are only positive ones as I dont think anything negative should be written without your name attached...

 

This blog has actually run itself pretty much after everyone figured out how to use it - Easy ... but thanks

Ok, Thanks for explaining your view, Camel.  I understand now where you are coming from and the comments are staying. 

 

From my perspective, the check off boxes take away from the personal experience.  A personal comment,even a brief one, is more meaningful to me than a tally.  People are more accountible and thoughtful "usually" when they put their name to it.  It takes time to make a comment and some people don't have the time or want to bother.  I'll just keep on with the comments. 

 

Personally, I try to never leave a comment that would make a person feel bad.  If I am ever an offender, I would appreciate you letting me know.  I have pretty thick skin when it comes to my artistic expression. 

 

I'm sorry that you have had some past experiences that hurt your feelings.  Support is important and I know you a a big contributer to the success of the group.  Thanks for all you do to keep our blog running.

here is my opinion....

We have almost 3000 posts on the blog & any one day can produce as many as 30 posts...

 

I personally don't make comments on very many...BUT I like to give the poster some kind of feedback for support purposes...

I think it helps to keep the art ball rolling..

 

I personally have 119 posts & comments on 20 or so which I found to be disheartening sometimes.

 

I just felt like it is for the quick feedback for something you just may not add a comment to.

So what is the deal with the new reactions boxes?  I really don't care for them in blogs and ignore them.  What's wrong with leaving a comment that is more personal?  It makes it feel like it is a contest of some sort and it isn't; is it?  Or am I just out of touch....

Darn, I missed Mim when she was on line,  If you get WIFI again, Mim, I miss your posts!  I'm pushing forward and hit 81 today!  Looking forward to catching up with you guys, so I can rest a bit.

Oh, Mim, I visited the Pompidou years ago and wish I were there now!

Comment by Mim Golub Scalin on March 31, 2011 at 3:59pm

Hello all, am @ centre Pompidou in Paris & managed to get WiFi. Have missed reading the blog & posting as I'm rarely on-line. However, I'm making mail art daily. Today was especially good, I made 2! Miss you, see you in the mail.
