"It's simple a matter of time"

Yes, that says it for me too. I do like to make critical comments when I see a newbie posting a great shot that just needs a little bit of help. Last week I directed someone to come here to the forum, because of the thread that had a tutorial about swapping out a washed out sky.

Two types of posts that I refuse to waste my time commenting on.... those shots that are just "personal snapshots" (ie, here's my car, dog, breakfast, etc.) and those shots that have more then 2 pages of comments or more already. I feel that those people that are really popular don't need "one" more comment (unless is was a critical one) and the home snapshots are not worth taking the time unless it is of special interest (which may happen once in awhile).  I do have a few "friends", people I've met over the years and have a mutual respect for, that I may break either of the two above mentioned shots! LOL :P
Hey, what can I say, I'm just here when I can be, see and comment when I can, and learn whatever and whenever I can.
Which brings me to another related subject. If I see an exceptional photo or type of postwork., I will leave a positive comment, short and to the point about what I like. If I an curious about a technique used by that person, I will email them.

Gosh, I don't know if my comment here is worth two cents, but there you have it anyway!
