i've been meaning to respond for a while now to something you said a while back about being reluctant to "shift out of visual mode" when commenting.
i was very excited when i read this, because i've frequently felt guilty about the inarticulate quality of much of my commenting.
often, i simply transcribe what the voice of my feelings exclaims ("oh oh oh oh oh," "oh yes," "meudeus," etc.). or i use the kind of shorthand that is possible between friends ("you know..." "ymms" etc.). or kiss-emoticons and/or hearts.
or, increasingly on flickr, i just fave the image.
your little note was very affirming to me and helped me reframe my responses as perfectly valid...just in a different (semi-nonverbal) category.
so...
