I can definitely relate.... and just to show you I'm not lying to make you feel good I have occasionally felt the sting of beating out a long, involved reply, comment or story, whatever, and the page suddenly crashes losing all my work. This usually happens when I've become careless and overconfident.... some sites crash and when the page comes back up your text will return (sometimes with a bit of massaging and sweet words), others you just lose whatever you wrote. Where it gets you is you get used to text being saved (maybe small posts) so you type out an epic saga.... crash, and it's gone!
It's like getting a speeding ticket... they only get you when you're not paying attention.
Actually your whole post pretty much describes me as well, although I haven't been very active here.
To the OP though, yeah, I get it but you sort of have to find a balance you can live with. Everyone appreciates those who post lots of pics (or write descriptions of their experiences). The 'net being a huge place and Time being the cruel master it is we don't always have the luxury of showing our appreciation in the way you deserve. Also, often our brains are starved for a blood supply and thus lacking in fuel and cooling (LOL).
It helps those observing if we can just click a rating as if you're like me and spending more time on the 'net than you should on this stuff when tasked with finding a solution to whatever-it-is that's broken at the moment, we don't always have Time.
Of course we should all aspire to be like burllleee, who it seems on every thread always makes the extra effort to say things like "that's great, please keep posting" or something else encouraging.
Please y'all (really all you contributors) don't get discouraged we really do appreciate all you do.
