I try to reciprocate comments on most posts with the operative word being "try".   Most of my commenting is on posts by those I follow on a regular basis.  For the most part I follow those I find interesting to read.  

 

My participation in the Q&A section is limited to answering questions.  It's typically a quick and easy way to check in to "see" some members I might not otherwise "see".

It depends on the 'depth' of their comment.

"What he/she said' does not merit a follow.

Comments by those who read HALF of the question does not merit a follow.

Going rogue? Now you've got my attention!

Not all of them. Some only post market reports, nothing to read. Some don't make nice comments so no to them too.

You earn my readership, so if I follow you it's for 3 reasons:

1. Encourage a newbie. 

2. I like what you post. 

3. It was your birthday, I did it as a gift.
