Thank you so much for the mention Shawn! This definitely made my day today! As to commenting, I click on an article ONLY if I want to read it and not for the sake of just putting myself out there or plain commenting.

As to commenting, once I've read through, I feel it imperative to share my thoughts to add value to the discussion and show my appreciation for the article.

As to how I have time to comment, It's part of my reading process as I said - It takes barely any time to do but goes a long way. I like having people respond to my articles so I am sure others would also.

I don't decide whether an article is good enough, if I feel like responding with a thoughtful comment, I do if not then I just respond with a message of appreciation.

Thanks for this Shawn! I truly enjoy reading your work. If you remember, the first thing I ever commented on one of your articles is how you are a breath of fresh air on this platform and that hasn't changed..

Keep writing my friend and I'll keep commenting xD
