That pretty much sums up my take on commenting. I'm not in the same league as some of the stuff here, sometimes I'm not even sure that I'm playing the same game. I try to avoid the 'nice job' and 'me too' platitudes and only join in when I have something worthwhile to say. This doesn't mean that I don't appreciate the stuff I don't have the skills, knowledge and equipment for, because I do, it just that I wouldn't want to have to wade through a lot of 'well dones' to get to the real interesting bits, so I try to play my part and not clutter the threads up.
I'd disagree as some of your work is certainly left field and thoroughly thought provoking, as is your comment about wading through well done posts to get to the interesting bits.
That's a fair (and for me a conflicting) point to be honest, when I browse I tend to 'look' for the interesting bits too and skim the replies, when I post and no one replies I feel I'm wasting my time.
I've tried to say it above and probably not that clearly, I'm not a fan of the well done's and rah rah razzmatazz, that's what the like button is for.
What I suppose I was hoping for is the interaction into how something was done, pitfalls, workarounds and solutions to problems, but, that falls neatly into Simons challenge about commercial builds, if you do so many, you eventually answer most of the potential questions long before they've even been asked.
In a sense the replies then tend to become the chaff, no matter how good the wheat is; if I'm not mistake that I think is where Simon is coming from in easing WT along.
The chaff is beginning to dilute the wheat, I'd debate you need some chaff, as to remove it all would raise the risk of the wheat rotting or worse yet, weeds taking over.
