comments on poetry really suck

helppppppp it's been so long I've forgotten what goes where when posting a link can somebody give me a refresher course please ?
 
Looking for the like button on this reply, Bronze and 'tess. It is nice to have even a short blurb written on your comments than to have 100 views and a couple of lowball votes. I appreciate the time people take even to read a new poem, nevermind what it takes, many days, to comment. Frequent readers (like 1201) and the reviewers have my respect and appreciation, even though it is so seldom expressed.

Here's to all of you who make the effort... CHEERS!
thank you dear heart, that is the nicest thing you ever said about me, even if i had to add it myself.

LOL you just know I was talking about you when I wrote that! Even those cryptic comments left by Tazz on posted poems suggest that someone has taken the time to read, ponder a minute and type even one word in the comments box about MY POEM! Thank you all in advance for seeing my small blip on the big ol' radar screen that is the Lit Archive.
 
Having spoken to Tazz quite a bit (for me) it appears he likes to leave comments to show he's read and appreciated the poem but because he is not a writer himself doesn't feel qualified to comment on whether the poem is good or not if that makes sense? He also tends not to vote unless he can give a 4 or 5. This means he writes things that are often cryptic but generally well considered and thoughtful.

Also he signs of with a thanks followed by his initials and location which confuses some people.
no, there seems to be a wee bit of an agenda with the cartoon devil, because he could also just pop in and say he likes it.
now he missed commenting on one of mine and I was on at the same time a mysterious score of three showed up (could have been just a coincidence, because i do tend to say things that piss people off)
if he does not feel qualified how can he distinguish between a 4 or a 5
and his 'thoughtful' comments could be shall we say a little more thoughtful because he seems to miss the major point of poetry with is saying something to mean something else i.e. metaphor, analogy, etc.
"++" double check
if he is here for the drek, let him stick to the drek

So what is it boy? I know you read the goddamn threads, explain yourself. A "russian doll"?
 
My internet goes dead over the weekend and Lit comes alive. Sigh, Matryoshka dolls? Would be something to see a longer post from Tazz. (A.D.D.?)

Still haven't made it to new poems
