A few comments on The Give and Take Comment Thread

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

I've noticed on the give and take comment thread (and also the first thread with the same suggestion in the newer lessons) that some people are misunderstanding the idea behind it, unless I'm the one with the wrong idea.

I do believe it's meant for those leaving comments to sound as if you are a visitor interested in the message of the post to help with encouraging those who visit the site from search on the internet to join in the conversation. I've had comments left on my posts, and have read numerous comments left on other sites I've visited, how nice the site is set up, what a good format, you might want to change this or that, you need to clean up your grammar, good luck with your efforts to make money, etc, etc.

I believe those types of comments should be saved for your reply on the give and take thread when you reply to let someone know you left a comment on their site.

Please, anyone, correct me if I'm wrong. And if I'm not, please take heed. I don't know about anyone else who gets these sorts of comments posted on their sites, but I don't approve and reply. Those sorts of comments get sent to the trash, which means your and my time and effort were wasted.
